Leica M3 Body DS with Case [852204]

£1,100.00

Condition

Mechanical: The shutter curtains are light-tight, the take-up spool is present and the wind is smooth. The shutter is accurate on all speeds. Both the self-timer and the Frameline selector works.

Optical: The rangefinder is bright and aligned. The top plate has been removed and the optics cleaned. The rangefinder patch itself has dark speckles which were not possible to clean. They can be seen against bright, uniform backgrounds such as the sky, or a white wall - but otherwise do not impede use.

Cosmetic: Generally good. The top plate is clean but has a couple of light scratches, consistent with use of a Leicameter. The bottom plate has quite a few bright marks. The strap lug areas are clean, the vulcanite is all intact and there are no dings or dents to the body.

Electronic: A flash fires when attached to the X-Sync port.
