Re: Impossible Summicron?
The highlight of the auction at LPphoto was a (by the serial number) perfectly legit black paint M3 959416, from the first black batch of 500, state B+ ("very god condition +"). I sat close to a badly jet-lagged Japanese gentleman who slept soundly through the auction until some kind of retainer woke him up just in time for this item, and after the club fell at SEK 61,000 (6524 euro and 6 cents) he left abruptly ... This is a game I am not into!
Below is a picture of the corpus delicti.
Leica M8, Summilux-M 1:1.4/50, ISO 1250. I could not take any photos during the bidding for the Impossible Summicron of course ...
