SOLD 1. Wetzlar Leica M6 Classic 0.72, SN 1691829. This is an M6 made before Leica moves to Solms and bears the Leitz red tag. They are believed to be the best-made M6s before Leica adopted cost-reduction procedures. This one is in great shape, with intact plastic seal on the bottom. There are a couple of small and light scratches on the corners, and the plastic part of the strap is not very clean. Otherwise, it is in excellent cosmetic shape. Viewfinder is bright and clean, alignment is right on, shutter speed has been tested and adjusted with electronic tester and sounds smooth and crisp. Functionally, only imperfection is that metering system is off by 1 stop, off but consistent. As a result, you need to set ISO 200 for an ISO100 film. In practical sense, this is not a problem at all, unless you use film of ISO 6400. Also, I believe this can be adjusted easily, but I do not know how to. All in all, a great early M6 to add to your collection or gear bag. $1000
2. Leica 135mm F4 Tele-Elmar, SN 2481828, in great shape. Glasses are perfect, barrel shows signs of usage on the aperture ring, but in overall beautiful condition. Comes with rear cap and a useless UV as equivalent front cap. This is arguably the best 135mm performer for its price. $295
SOLD3. Minolta Spot meter M, like new with soft leather case. $210
SOLD 4. Original Leica leather/canvas bag. A bit dirty but in great shape for its age. Matches perfectly with your Leica gears. $95
