Hi. A friend of mine knows a friend who knows a person who has a nice M3
single throw, with case, 50/2 dual range lens and MC meter attached and a
case left to her by her late husband. I think he is was the original owner.
Through that chain, it found me as the only person she knows who is familiar
with Leica, but my experience is R based, not M based. I checked it out and
it seems to be in fine, make that very fine condition. I could not figure
out the lightmeter, but it did respond to light. It was really fun handling
such a nice piece of gear. At any rate, the second person in the chain said
he would help the first person in the chain sell it, but I have no idea what
to say it is worth other than what I have seen on E-bay. My guess is around
$90-$1000 for the body, $600 for the lens as it lacks the goggles, maybe $85
for the meter and maybe $30 for the case? Am I way off base or does this
sound reasonable?
