Hello fellow luggers,

It is with some regret (well alot actually) that I have to put the my HM for 
sale, it's looking for a good home:

Leica M6 HM (0.85 Non-TTL) Black Chrome Rare only 3130 made.
(apparently - http://www.cameraquest.com/m685.htm).
Boxed. GMP Handgrip (black). Instructions/original documents/Strap.
S/N 242xxxx. Mint/Mint -
(Lens release red dot removed (I didn't like it but if you do I'm sure it 
can be re-applied). Light occasional use (for exhibition photographs 
only).No scratches or dents of any kind. A few cosmetic scuff marks under 
the film wind lever,hardly noticeable. Recently CLA'd about 5 months ago. Am 
second user from new Unfortunately passport out of date now ended 08/03/00).

With 50mm/f2 Summicron lens (black). 5th edition. Built in focus lever. 50 
on barrel. Detachable Hood. UV Filter. Lens cap. S/N 330xxxx. Mint.
Here's what Stephen Gandy has to say about it:

"Fifth version 1980-95  Black lens with "50" on barrel, reintroduced 
focusing lever, without built in hood. In my opinion the best choice of all 
50 Summicrons.  I am a fan of both the focusing lever and the larger 
attachable hood.  Nice lightweight lens at only 195 grams  6 elements, 
recomputed." http://www.cameraquest.com/mlenses.htm

And having used it, I completely agree.

Please e-mail me PRIVATELY at byronw77@hotmail.com if you would like to make 
me a reasonable offer or require further information, I can send small jpeg 
images via e-mail if you so wish.

Buyer pays for shipping/insurance etc. on top of agreed sale price of camera 
and lens.

Best Wishes,

Byron.
