This kit was poorly designed pour the M2 which had a manual set exp counter.
It truely was such a piece of merde that it was taken off the market & sold
to
dealers like Brooklyn Camera for just cents on the dollar and they in turn
sold
the kit for around $10. This was many years ago & I be wondering if it
really
was a Leitz item to begin with as it had a cheap loading instruction sticker
that
was very un-Leitz like. I hear that they have become popular again on eBay;
selling for as much as $100 to suchers. ------------------ Souris
