Equipment Type: Rangefinder
Equipment Brand: Leica
Equipment Model: M3 SS - Repaint Black
Price (S$): 1250 SGD
Description:
For sale is a Leica M3 that started it's life as a Chrome M3. I got the camera repainted by Masa Saita in Tokyo. It's matte finish, with the top having only serial number engraving filled in. The camera had full CLA, and thorough makeover. The viewfinder is clean (some slight dust), shutter speeds are accurate, shutter is clean, rewind mechanism is smooth, and framelines are bright.



I am selling this camera only because I have personal commitments, and I got a M2 which needs taking care of. I prefer the M2 over the M3.

Here is a gallery of M3 shots.

The package contains:
* M3
* Body cap
* Leica strap
* 35+85mm dual finder from Yashica

It's a beauty and performs wonderfully. Here are some shots taken with the camera -

Now to the hard part.
The cost includes shipping from India. I will ship via EMS (trackable).
I will take only WESTERN UNION PAYMENT. Or if you know anyone in India who can do a payment to me. Paypal in India is impossible to deal with.
Western Union has low rates and is trackable.

I have sold here and on RFF previously. References: Ben Tay, Benny, Master Dan.
