This has all been boxed up in the house (inside) for several decades. Last I saw the gear out was in the mid 60s and it wasn't much used then and was put away soon thereafter. There are some issues with specific items but there are NO issues with mold, haze or fungus in any of the glass. The M3 is very nearly perfect. The IIf seems to have been boxed with the shutter wound up so even though it works there are vertical surface fissures on half of it. The rest of the IIf is nearly as good as the M3. Every lens operates smoothly. I have a large set of pictures on Flickr documenting all of this. The photos are in a private area so I have to send you an invite to give you access. I also have a detail spreadsheet with all the items listed. I can easily send that on an email response. I would like to sell all the Leica gear as one package. The price for that would be $3000.00. I am willing to break out some items although I will try hard to keep logical groupings together. Drop me a note with your interests. Short List: M3 - dbl stroke - SN#750### - Superb condition, near new, with hard case and manual. with Summicron 50mm f2 Collapsible, also very nearly new, with hood and cap. IIf - SN#573### - Superb in appearance, but does have issue noted above with shutter. Screwmount lenses: 35mm f3.5 Summaron - Excellent 50mm f1.5 Summarit - Excellent 90mm f4 Elmar - black, has brassing on barrel 135mm f4.5 Hektor - black, has brassing on barrel Lens caps, hoods, cases for most of these. 50mm Brightline Finder - near new - has box (box is worn but finder was in the tissue) Variable finder - shows wear, some surface issues but fully functional Focaslide - nearly new in box with manual Several other items including filters, adaptor, meters, and cords. Thank you for your consideration, John Mauldin
