I hope I don't regret this, but I'm not shooting as much film as I used to and would like to get a Leica digital (probably Q3 43). The boss (wife) says I can if a few other cameras are sold.
This M3 is not perfect but in very good condition (didn't give it a 9 because it's 60+ years old). There are a few marks on top from a meter I'd guess, and the bottom plate has minor blemishes that were hard to photograph. I don't notice them when not looking for them. The paint is clean compared to many I see, with only a few very tiny chips (visible in photos). The vulcanite covering is in excellent condition.
This received a full CLA by Y Ye in 2019, including new shutter curtains. The shutter speeds are good... even the slow ones. The rangefinder patch is clear and bright and has been accurate in the shooting I've done. The self timer functions as expected.
I looked hard a few years back to find a nice copy, and this has been a joy to shoot with. The price is net to me, and I will cover CONUS ground shipping.
I tried to think of everything I needed to note for an older camera like this, but feel free to ask questions.
