fs: 28mm summicron or 50mm Summilux ASPH with M4-P Leica film camera

I have an excellent condition M4-P Film camera.
The only scratches I know of is on the bottom plate around the edges.

The viewfinder is a little hazy, but works fine for me so I never had it cleaned ( not fungus from what I can tell )
I can probably take off the front plate and just wipe it. I just haven't gotten around to it since I've been playing with my Nex-5 too much lately! :)

The film advances just fine, the timing on it seems in-check.
I used a roll of Tri-X in it last sept and pics came out excellent as expected.

It will also include an original Leica meter that is attached ontop that can be removed with a battery less than 6 months old in it. Meter works excellent.
It is model MR4-P

The camera is black chrome. The meter is also black to match it.
The Camera comes with original box, instructions, and so does the meter.
I think I can even finagle the receipt out of where I last had it if I looked hard enough.
1982 or so purchase date from downtown Toronto, ON CANADA.

Now, for the lens I'd like to combo this with.

I have 28mm 2.0 summicron ASPH. 6-bit coded
It has no marks of any kind. Perfect mechanical condition as well as cosmetics.
Includes box, and pouch as it were new. Hood as well ofcourse.
It also has a brass B+W UV ( not a knock-off, authentic ) filter attached to it that will be included.
Take this lens and the camera for $3700 even.

I also have a 50mm 1.4 Summilux ASPH 6-bit coded.
This one is in very good condition cosmetically.
Some small pin pricks if looked at closely. But that's about it.
Mechanically, it is flawless. It will also include an authentic B+W UV
filter. However, no box/pouch. Front and rear caps included.

I will let this go with the M4-P camera for $4400.

My price is firm. Also, I want to mention, if paypal, include 2%.
I will cover 1% out of kindness, but I hate paypal.

I would prefer a wire, or cheque, or money order/cert. cheque. Or any
other method that you can recommend that can help both of us avoid fees.

I am in Canada. So if this is a Canadian deal, we can do EMT as my first choice.

If this goes to a USA buyer, I will actually cross the boarder and ship it from WITHIN the USA so customs/duty fees will not be an issue for you. The boarder is only a 45 min drive for me.
I will cover shipping and insurance.
If someone would like a local meet-up/inspection, I am in and around the Toronto Ontario city area.

I will try and get some pics up soon.
I have feedback from users here.
I have bought a 90mm leica, m9, 2x 50mm lenses here. all within the past 7-8 months or so.

I am looking to let go of only 1 lens, as I would like to keep one on my nex-5.

found my pics :)

28mm first

As a simple courtesy, you should ask someone if you can use their photographs in your ads before using them (both here and on your flickr account).

Don, I apologize if this is an issue. I didn't think to re-do the pictures of the lens I purchased from you.

Yes, these are/were pictures you used of the lens that you sold to me which I now have in my possession. Clearly I do not own the pics in any way shape or form and fully apologize.
On a lighter note, everyone has been so friendly and welcoming, I assumed using such plain basic pics that represents the lens correctly, and is of the actual lens with no persons or other particular objects in the scene would have been a non-issue. A general "for sale" pic if I may label it that, of the actual item. I understand that the modus operandi here is "assume".
And, I must accept that what I may be okay with, others may not, and others just live by, say, a stricter code? (if I may be allowed to assume that? )
It will be deleted off my flickr page immediately as well.
I hope you accept my apology and it will not affect any further dealings, if any, we have in the future.

EDIT:
added pics just taken of the lens

in the last pic, I've circled the 2 in red that I can see on that side. I think those 2 are the worst of it, just to give you an example. There are approx 2-3 more on the other side, and I think that is it.

I would like to keep this sale free of PAYPAL however, unless the person has some good feedback. Otherwise, I'd prefer wire transfer and definitely EMT if it's a Canadian sale.

Just M4-P for sale now.
here are pics I took of it last week.
All you see is included.
The MR-4 Meter with box and new battery since summer/fall

The M4-P fully functioning.
Viewfinder is bright and clear. (recently cleaned)
Camera operates 100% with a roll of Tmax in it as we speak
Comes with original box and instructions
Original Leica strap
I also have the original receipt from 1982, if by chance,
you would like that as well.

Camera is in CANADA.
I ship usa and canada. I will do Europe and others but PM
me so we may figure out shipping if you'd like.
I'd like $1050 for the package. I'll cover shipping.
Wire transfer, or paypal but you pick up fees, or e-check for no fees.
In Canada, I would prefer EMT, which is virtually free ($1.50? ) and is
done by all the major canadian banks.
I would consider a trade for a Contax G2 setup. ( I would really like the 21mm
lens somewhere in there )
