I have seen the older IIa in the $1000 - $2000 range, but for the workhorse IIc, be prepared for prices of $2500 and up, sometimes way up. I worked with a IIc in a pro lab over 30 years ago and absolutely loved it. It is a huge, heavy beast, but operating it was smooth and elegant, kind of like a built-in power steering. For just 35mm and medium format, the IIc would be my overwhelming choice. Maybe someday when I spend every waking hour in the darkroom and never go out again, I will trade in both cars and the pickup on a IIc and appropriate Leitz lenses!
