Assume a CLA will be > needed, if Leica seal is still there. This will be an additional cost. 1 1/2 years ago I bought my second M2 from Tamarkin for $600 in user condition and sent it Sherry for a check out and CLA. At that time there seemed to be a glut of M2's on the market at reasonable prices. But, in the past 6 months they seemed to have mostly disappeared and what is out there seems to have risen in price from $800 up. Now there seems to be a glut of M3's with good deals to be had. I bought a decent M3 in April from a dealer for $700. I prefer the M2 over the M3 because it is more versatile for what I want to shoot (35mm frame). The M3 though is wonderful to shoot with the 50mm lens, so I use M2 for 35, M3 for 50.
