Condition

Used Like new
An exceptional example of both camera and lens. The M3 body shows virtually no signs of use no brassing, no dents, and crisp engravings. The viewfinder is clean and bright, with a strong rangefinder patch. Shutter speeds sound accurate and smooth. The Elmar 50mm f/2.8 lens is equally pristine: clean glass, smooth aperture and focus rings, and no signs of wear on the barrel. Truly collector-grade.
