UPDATE: The Mandler 35 and M-Rokkor 90 have sold. Still available: the M3 + Summicron set, the SBLOO and the Lime Two.
A year-matched pair: both serials date to 1964. The M3 (#1,096,603) is from the January 1964 production batch, and the Summicron (#2,052,461) falls in Leitz's 1964 lens serial range.
• Leica M3 single-stroke, chrome. CLA and shutter curtain replacement by DAG (Don Goldberg) last summer, done for the previous owner. I don't have the receipt, but DAG's wax seal is on the camera (photo in the reply below). Shutter, rangefinder and film advance all work properly; finder is clear and bright. Chrome and vulcanite are very clean (see photos).
• Leitz Summicron 50mm f/2 Rigid, late version (meters/feet scale) with infinity lock. Clear glass with no haze, fungus or separation. The focus ring is a bit stiff; it's been that way the 6 months I've owned it. A few cosmetic marks on the focusing mount (see photo).
Strap and front cap included.
Prices are net: buyer covers the PayPal G&S fee. Free insured shipping to the lower 48. More photos in the reply below. Thanks for looking!
Modern take on Walter Mandler's 7-element Summicron 35 v4 design, Leica M mount, silver aluminum version.

Compact 90mm that brings up the 90mm frame lines on the M3 and other M bodies. Clear glass, smooth focus. With Minolta front cap. 40.5mm filter thread.
