I will fly to meet you and have $30 cash "good" is the key M3 and M4 cameras are among the most desirable of the "common" Leica rangefinders. Collectors will pay a huge premium for cameras and lenses in mint (new) condition in original boxes with tags and papers. Because they were desired an d"dear" (expensive) Leicas of this vintage were generally well used by their owners... Unless maltreated they have lots of life left but... They may have marks on the top where the meter attached, marks on the baseplate, chips in the black leatherette ("Vulcanite") covering where the baseplate attaches, rub marks where the strap lugs are... They are of limited interest to collectors but huge interest to that (admittedly smaller) group that shoots film In Portland we have several good stores (www.bluemooncamera.com among others) Jake and others locally are selling cameras for about what is listed (these are asking prices the economy and digital being what they are...) Yours may be worth more o less (and if you want to whole sale the lot I shoot Leica and would love it) On May 14, 2009, at 7:39 PM, Warren Pearce wrote: > I inherited these Leicas and associated items from my uncle.
