Oh come on Kit.  The rest of us would like to know some one else's
opinion of what the kit is worth. :) :)

Really, I am not trying to cause trouble, but with Leica prices in a
flux and very little coming into dealers hands, values are somewhat
difficult to determine today.

An example would be a clean M6 sitting on a dealers shelf at $1200.  If
it sold in a week then I would know that the price may have been a touch
low.  Likewise, if that same camera was there in two months then the
price was too high. (This all assumes a large enough customer base to
have many potentially interested parties look at the item in a short
period of time).  With the internet, I almost never get to compare
actual cameras to actual prices.

hi Kit
thanks again for your response.
I've decided to hang on the the CL, and to try to learn its use.

The M6 is "minty", no marks or scratches, and has mounted a Summicron
50mm,
#3263162.  I find no serial # on the camera body, except on the hotshoe
(?)
mount.  In the bag with the M6 is an Elmar 90mm, #2643967, and an
Elmarit
28mm(?) # 3276781.  Also in the bag is a Sekonik Studio Deluxe light
meter,
and a Vivitar 2800 flash.

The M4 is # 1192835, and has mounted to the "hotshoe" a Leica MR light
meter.  It has mounted a Summicron 50mm, # 2031026.  It has no dings or
scratches, no brassing, has been used and shows handling.
In the bag with this camera is a Nikor-P 8.5cm lense, #396762.

The older Leica has # 772840, and has mounted a 50mm lense, that pulls
out
from the body.  This camera shows no brassing, no dings or scratches.

Any information you can impart on these cameras is much appreciated.

regards,

Thor Taggart
