Leica M6 Body - This is a very nice Leica M6 Classic body purchased from a local dealer (Glazers Camera, Seattle) about a 2 yrs ago. Includes body, generic body cap, OEM Leica neckstrap.It has had about 40 rolls since I bought it. It functions exactly as a Leica M6 should - meter is on, handling is smooth and precise, shutter speeds are accurate and is in KEH condition EX. The body shows signs of use - its 20 years old after all - but its a great specimen of a wonderful camera. Two minor caveats: 1. It has a slight dent on the base plate near the toggle (see picture 7). I purchased it like this. 2. The rangefinder is slightly off at infinity - it came back from Leica like this post adjustment and I never bothered with it. $1000 2. Gossen Digisix Light Meter - Indcident/Reflective meter - small size and you can get a hotshoe adapter for that old III body. Accurate. Just works. I just had to get a flash meter, so this is extra. Going for $170 on the web. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/257033-REG/Gossen_GO4006_Digisix_Ultra _Compact_Lightmeter.html $130 (Deal!) 3. Jupiter 12 Screw Mount 2.8/35 Russian Lens. Never really used. Bought it from a reputable dealer in Russia. People actually find this is quite a good lens, especially for the price - its a copy of the Zeiss Biogon. Lens looks clear to me. Avoid it with Hexar, Bessas - the rear element hits the shutter. Commes with lens/caps. Sell for $40-60 on ebay. $45 4. Olympus XA - purchased from a LUGer a few years ago. Comes with camera, box and flash. Tiny, RF-focused, fixed 2.8/35mm lens. It works, but I've never put more than 1 or 2 rolls thru it - not extensive testing. Going for $60-130 on ebay. $80 5. Canonet G-III QLS - purchased used 5 or 6 years ago. Quite a few rolls thru it. I'll throw in a wein-cell battery if I can find it. Works fine. Light seals replaced when I purchased it, but like most 70's rangefinders it *could* use a CLA. Snap on lens cap included. $65 6. Olympus 35 RC - purchased a few years ago. Shot some rolls thru, looked good but never did extensive testing. Prolly could use light seal replacement and a CLA. Sell for $35-60 on ebay. No lens cap, but a beat up skylight filter is on it now. $45 Drop me an email if you are interested.
