Subject: [Leica] Leicaflex SL

I borrowed a Leicaflex SL camera with a 60mm/f2.8 Macro Elmarit lens on it 
from a friend over the weekend.  What an impressive camera!  The camera and 
lens are over 30 years old, but everything still works smoothly.  The camera 
is built like a tank!  It looks like it will last at least a hundred years 
even if used daily!  The lens is also a solid piece of precision optical 
equipment.  I am seriously tempted to get a similar used outfit for macro 
photography, which is something that I would not be able to do with my M6 
TTL/35 Summicron ASPH combo.  So, any LUGers out there who would be willing 
to sell me an SL (or SL2) with a 60 macro lens in excellent condition and at 
a reasonable (ha ha!) price?!
