I did indeed grab it up for a ridiculous price--- I pointed out what appears to be a spot of fungus on the inside rear element (doesn't appear severe enough to etch the glass). I got it, and they threw in the M2-28-35/M3-135 adapter ring to boot. Gratis! They were selling an M2 (just CLA'd) that looks very nice, but has a few chips in the vulcanite, but the owner wanted around a grand for it, and they have been selling for a lot less in what appears to be a 'soft' market. I would suppose it could be had for $750-800 with a little persuasion! They also had an almost pristine M3- early with the slotted rewind, ceramic pressure plate, and without the preview lever- so it is early. Just a few bright marks. If I didn't already have two I'd jump on it! I think after a trip to Sherry for a CLA on this lens, I might keep it- it looks great on both the M6 and the M3!! (Or is it too rare to use!? ~ ) Thanks again. Dan - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
