I have a very nice looking IIIF black dial with a 50 F2 Summitar for sale.
Works very well. $550.

Subject: [Leica] Friday WANTED - user Leica TM

I'm shopping for my first Leica, on a more limited budget than will
probably find one, but as they say "you don't get if you don't ask."

What I'm looking for is a user screw mount, with a normal lens.
Preference would be a IIIf especially because I'd like to use flash,
but a IIIc would be second choice.

Within limits, cosmetics are not an issue.  For a solid performer,
things such as after-market flash sockets are not an issue.  

At least as a first step, a Jupiter lens is quite acceptable.

I like the way the little Leica's feel in my hands, and I want to
learn about the results they produce. If I get hooked, someday I'll
shop for a fine one, and someday I'd like to add an M (or a couple!)
to my collection, but that's not in the family budget now.

Now that bad part - I'd like to spend on the order of $300, with
normal lens, for a well working camera.  I could stretch to $350 or
maybe just a bit more, but beyond that will mean going back to saving
for a while.

Anyone have anything?

Thanks for your interest,
