Advertisement Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi IkarusJohn, Take a look here I love my M3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
dave.gt Posted March 7, 2012 Share #142 Posted March 7, 2012 My M3 (1962) finally arrived back from Solms this morning. Hey, looks great! What did you have done to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted March 7, 2012 Share #143 Posted March 7, 2012 I bought it secondhand, and from the pictures, the vulcanite was chipped. So, I got the seller to send it directly to Solms for CLA, servicing and re-covering. There's some scuffing on the top plate (presumably from a meter) and some marks on the baseplate - all add character. Made in 1962, I'm hoping my kids will inherit it in perfect working order some time in the 2050s! Cheers John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moggele Posted March 8, 2012 Share #145 Posted March 8, 2012 Recover they do but only with vulcanite similar to the old one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasw_ Posted April 5, 2012 Share #147 Posted April 5, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) akiva -- I would give Leica USA a telephone call. they can set you up. btw less costly is to buy the Leica a la carte covering 'vulkanit' from Leica and then have sherry or Gerry smith or dag put it on while doing a CLA on your m3. iirc the covering was ~175 a couple of years ago.

Messsucherkamera Posted May 18, 2012 Share #158 Posted May 18, 2012 Holy Moses - you gents have some beautiful M3 cameras!! I've always wanted an M3 - I think that will be my next M camera acquisition. Has anyone had the MP rangefinder upgrade done to their M3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted May 18, 2012 Share #159 Posted May 18, 2012 Holy Moses - you gents have some beautiful M3 cameras!! I've always wanted an M3 - I think that will be my next M camera acquisition. Has anyone had the MP rangefinder upgrade done to their M3? the MP rangefinder upgrade usually refers to an upgrade of a condenser lens in rangefinders, usually found in M6 and early M7 cameras, that do not have this additional feature, that has been omitted during the M4-2 (?) production as a cost saving measure. If you are speaking of actually entirely converting a M3 with the inclusion of a MP rangefinder, that would be a whole different matter ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
