The camera:
I´ve had this M6 since early this summer and it has served me well - handles like wonder! It does show use, but only as a more shiny black chrome where thumb and fingers have been handling it naturally (guess "brassing" isn´t the word for this, since it´s the chrome that shines through )
A previous owner had Leica in Solms give it a full CLA. I´m not sure exactly when, but as I understand it; less than a year ago (I´ll check that out tomorrow). I have a document from the Norwegian handler showing the work done.
For a short time I had problems with the long shutter times hanging. This was solved by firing them quite a few times. They´re now working properly and they are correct.
Comes with a black half case. I never use these, so forgot to take a picture of it, but will do if needed. I do not know who made the half case.
$950 plus PayPal and $30 international shipping.
The lens:
This is a version of the Elmar C 4/90 I haven´t seen before; M-Rokkor 4/90, made in Germany. I got this lens from a member at RFF not long ago and really like what it produces, but I´ve made myself an M8-owner (again) and I´ll get a 75mm instead. The lens is in excellent+ shape, few use marks, perfect glass and function. Comes with origial rubber hood (great shape) and original caps.
$325 is what I bought it for. Please add PP fee and $25 for international shipping.
I´ll consider offers - especially if you´re interested in both items. I may also consider a CV 2,5/75mm as part payment.
Sorry about noisy pics, especially of the lens. They´re crops form the M8 with CV 1,4/35 ...
