Looking for a Nikon SP Limited Edition with everything that came from new. Doesn’t have to be in perfect shape, but really looking to get the case, boxes, certificate of authenticity, etc unless a very solid deal can be had for just the camera and lens.
Also looking for a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 millenium from the S3 2000, and some other s mount lenses to build a kit. Been wanting a SP for years and I want to give one a try! Not intending for this camera to be a shelf queen.

Agreed I think all Nikon’s rangefinders look fantastic, and in a world where one might think of Leicas as ubiquitous, the SP really stands out. I’ve heard good things about the SP reissue’s viewfinder (compared to the original), so I hope it’s good enough to not be a bother to me coming from a history with Leica.

Such a great looking camera, especially the S3 in black. I just prefer the much sharper and defined rf patch in Leicas than Nikon's hazy blob.

One Nikon RF that is really underrated is the S2. It basically is designed to be used with the 50mm lens, and so the vf is filled up w that frame line set. For some reason the rf patch is clearer/brighter than the same generation S3 and SP.
While Leicas are still the pinnacle, I liked the S2 much more than my modern Bessa R3A, and old Canon P. And of course way more than my Soviet RFs! (Zorki, Fed, Kiev)
Anyway good luck finding the black SP. The black ones IMO are just so much better looking!
