Subject: [Leica] Is this a good buy?

Hi all!

I have a chance to purchase a (used) Focusing Bellows-R (cat #16860) and
the 100mm f4 Macro-Elmar s/n 22807xx  (no focusing mount - focuses from
infinity to 1:1 on the bellows)  for Cdn $675 (US$ 444). Condition appears
to be good, with noticable wear, but no signs of abuse.  All seems to work
smoothly. Double cable release is not included.

Qustions

[a] Has anybody here used this combo.  If so, how is it for ease of use,
results, etc.

[b] is this a reasonable buy? A steal? Or overpriced?

Thanks for any and all opinions/advice.
