I prefer it to the SM Leica bodies because it has a bright, easy-to-use rangefinder like the Leica M's. It is in great user condition and even includes a Canon 50mm f1.8 lens which is quite scratched on the front element. The lens will be low in contrast but will make a good body cap. Mechanically the camera is on the money with an accurate shutter (more accurate than my Leica III's.) Since I rarely shoot with the old lenses anymore, having succumbed to the Leica M's, I'd like to find a home for this camera where someone is still shooting with those classic SM Leitz lenses. $320 for the Canon L2 body and 50mm lens (aka body cap.) Good shooting. Fred
