Default Re: Question about OLD Leica gear

You have a Leica M3 and a IIIf. Both are worth fixing and are popular cameras. It looks like you have the IMARECT (sp?) finder which isn't the most popular finder but still nice to have for the IIIf. The flash is only really good to complete the collection and isn't worth too much.

The Summarit is a pretty popular lens. I had one with my first M3 and didn't like it because it had no contrast. I seem to be in the minority in my opinion. The Elmar 90 is screw mount to fit on the IIIf with the finder. You can get an adapter to use the lens on the M3. I don't have much experience with this lens, but I think it's pretty good. I can't tell if the glass is foggy on you lenses or just dirty.

The box the M3 is in is probably worth a bit of money. In fact any boxes you have you should keep.

I'm not sure who to send it to. Some one will probably chime in but Sherry Krauter and DAG are both highly thought of.

Keep 'em alive
