wda Posted January 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was surprised by this current E**y sale Leica M9 Digital Camera - Black (Body Only) 4022243107045 | eBay The seller failed to notice this omission until after posting the sale. But it could be quite a rare copy. If you look at Brian Bower's book 'Leica M Digital Photography', many of the illustrations provided by Leica show just such a camera, albeit an M8. Was this an early M9 prototype? Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Advertisement Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi wda, Take a look here M9 without a viewfinder pre-selector lever. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
earleygallery Posted January 22, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 22, 2014 I think the lever has simply fallen off. In one of the photos I can see a circular 'mount' where the lever should be! I wouldn't pay extra for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay extra for it I guess you are right James. I also think the seller must be a dealer not to have been aware of the missing part which the actual owner would have known.

hermanp Posted January 22, 2014 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2014 Just scroll down the ad and you can read: On 16-Jan-14 at 11:15:21 GMT, seller added the following information:UPDATE: I have just noticed that the selector lever that shows different frame views is missing. This is the lever to the left of the lens is missing. You can see this oin photo 3. Many apologies - I have literally just noticed this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted January 22, 2014 Herman, I thought that point was implicit in my posting. Without his warning I might not have noticed the omission. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 22, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 22, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, the missing lever made this the bargain of the month; GBP 1950,-- Leica will most probably replace the lever for free. Just get a charger (available third party) and a battery and it is ready to go… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
