[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am looking to replace my old M3 with non collapsible 50MM Summicron. I have been offered a broken shutter M3 for $1200, several M6, and an M2 in primo shape. A few fungused elmars, ditto summitar, ditto 90 MM elmar, a 50MM Summicron with scratches on the front surface which I am promised do not affect the quality of picture,,,,,,,, come on now, this is silly! I think the LUG can do better....... I want to use the M3 camera and 50 Summicron. I need working equipment. Let me be clear in what I want: This will be a user piece, not a collectible. Physical condition is not terribly important. Operation is important. The M3 is because the VF is a 1:1 with the eye not using the VF, allowing the user to keep both eyes open. The 50 Summicron should be a rigid non-close focus version with NO OPTICAL PROBLEMS I would accept offers of more than this equipment, but really this is what I want. Does anyone in the LUG have a beater M3 that they wish to sell? Ditto a rigid 50MM Summicron, optics absolutely clear. You can add another camera type, a few lenses, etc. but please, the M3 and the Summicron. Please excuse the whinning.... too many off target responses. Thank You Frank Filippone red735i@worldnet.att.net
