[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Having finally settled on just using my M7 for my film shooting (a huge thank you to all that responded to my M7 query), I need to cull the others in order to keep the peace at home, so I have the following film camera bodies to offer for sale. If you?re interested in any of them, say so quickly because I will putting them on eBay later this weekend; I'll even sweeten the deal to fellow LUGgers ? a 10% discount and free shipping to anywhere in the US. I can provide photos upon request. Oh, if you're wanting something shipped outside of the US, you'll have to have a friend here that I can ship it to; I got burned on some expensive gear in the past when the shipments got "lost" in the mail of the foreign country, so I no longer do that. 1965 Leica M3 chrome (1111xxx) ? $900 User-grade; not real pretty cosmetically, but excellent mechanically. Late model, toward the end of M3 production. CLA by Youxin Ye in October 2014. Cleaned and lubricated mechanical parts, adjusted shutter speeds and brake. Shutter travels even at all speeds and works well now. Both shutter curtains are in good shape. Replaced two defective intermediate gears. Camera film transport is solid and in good working order now. Cleaned finder and adjusted focus. Replaced rangefinder mask to a good one since the original one had a little permanent aging signs. Recovered the camera. Replaced both strap lugs to new steel lugs so that it will never wear out over the future. The camera comes with a quick loading kit inside. 2004 Leica MP Classic black paint 0.72 (441/500) ? $3,700 (body only) Mint minus; there are very light scratches on the top and bottom plates, and brassing is beginning on the tip of the advance lever. If you have a hankering for a new M-A in black paint for cheap ? here you go, as they are virtually identical.
