The camera does operate. I can't attest to how well, but it seems mechanically sound. As I'm sure is apparent, I'm not very knowledgeable about cameras and the quality of my photos equally demonstrates my lack of photography skills - I wish I was better skilled.
Anyway, the batch of photography equipment I've inherited from my father which he bought in an estate auction is a bit overwhelming for me. Hasselblads, Nikon F2's, Zeiss Hologon Ultrawide (yes, really), Paillard movie camera, and more. I need to find homes for much of this equipment. Hopefully for people that will really appreciate it. In that light, can anyone give me a estimate range for the value my converted Leica.
Thanks again.

Hey hey hey... ants up on the Hologon Ultrawide !!! Can you post some pic of it ? Is it well complete with graduated filter and body grip arm ? True this is the Leica forum, but as you know the Hologon lens is much related to Leica. The Zeiss Camera with Hologon (based on Contarex body) is a valuable collectible by itself, but there even have been people that has deprived it of lens + viewfinder with spirit level to adapt them on Leica M, throwing away the body...
