1957 Leica M3 double-stroke transitional body with "Budda Ears" strap lugs and current style shutter speeds. This is cosmetically one of the nicest bright chrome M3s you'll find. The vulcanite flaked off to the touch, so I recovered it in a nice dark blue leather that I think is quite stunning. The leather appears several shades lighter in the photos than in person. The shutter speeds all sound correct. The rangefinder patch is bright and contrasty. The viewfinder has some haze that would probably benefit from cleaning, but it's perfectly useable as-is which is why I've not bothered with it. The pressure plate shows no wear at all. I bought this from an estate, and I believe I am the second owner. The camera will come with an original M3 owner's manual pamphlets. Please see the photos for the actual cosmetic condition. The price includes shipping in CONUS by USPS insured. Please PM with questions or offers. If this looks familiar, I had it listed in January before I headed to Arizona for the winter, forcing me to withdraw it. I've returned and the camera is ready to use!
