The camera body has just received a complete service. The rangefinder is bright and accurate. The viewfinder is clear. The shutter, timer and counter are working and the curtains are in excellent condition. The camera includes an original take up spool and correct baseplate. No dents. No chips in the vulcanite. There are some very light brightmarks on the top and base plates. No brassing.
The lens has smooth focus and smooth diaphragm. There is slight oil on the diaphragm blades that affects nothing. The tubus has light scratches and it opens and closes smoothly. The bezel is nice and flat. The glass has no fungus or separation. There are some cleaning scratches, some haze and minor dust. I did not service the lens and it has never been apart.
You get the camera with lens, original lens cap and original instructions in English. The camera has a 1/4" tripod thread and the lens focus is in feet. Overall ex+ and in very collectible condition.
You can ask questions and I encourage you to do so. I speak Leica.
