As much as it hurts to part with my baby, I am selling my M6HM and M gear to fund the completion of my R system. The following items are for sale separately or together, and will be shipped overnight Fedex to you THE SAME DAY I receive YOUR money order via overnight courier. I prefer to deal with US or Canadian shipments only. Warranties on ALL items are available through me for at least 2 years per item. 1. Leica M6HM (black), ser. # 2415xxx, EX++. Few signs of use. Strap lug guards have barely visible lines, but no scratches. Entire baseplate is clean, and still has the original plastic cover attached. There are a few microscopic scratches at the end of the baseplate where the tripod mount is located. There is a 1/2-inch long scratch on the top plate above the eye piece. This scratch does show a tinge of silver, but is a hairline scratch and not readily visible unless held at an angle close to the eye. The final minor flaw is an almost microscopic silver ding on the rewind lever which is also only visible at an angle when hit by light. Entire inside of camera is dust-free, spotless, and still looks and smells new. I would guess the camera has had 400 rolls of film through it over the 6 months I have owned it. It has NEVER been dropped or introduced to water except for light rain in Paris! The meter works flawlessly, as do all moving components. All in all, an EXCELLENT example of a well-cared for M6HM. Comes with original Leica strap, box, presentation case, booklet, body cap and new battery. Buy the M6HM and I will throw in a new Handgrip-M and a black TA Soft Release! $1695. 2. Leica 35/2 Summicron-M ASPHERICAL, ser # 3785xxx, EX++. Glass is MINT, front and back, and shows NO dust scratches or cleaning marks whatsoever. Beautiful glass! The body is perfect except for many very small, silver dings which are simply signs that this lens was my most used lens on the M6. All the dings are tiny and are not eyesores. You won't even notice them. Comes with EX++ original plastic hood and hood cap, both original lens caps, box, leather case, and booklet. $1050. 3. Leica 50/2 Summicron-M, ser # 3803xxx, MINT. Glass is MINT again, front and back, with NO cleaning marks or scratches whatsoever. Immaculate! The body of the 50 is in even better shape than that of the 35. In fact, you will think you just brought this lens home from the store. There is ONE tiny silver ding on the focusing ring which is not readily visible and will go unnoticed. Other than that, absolutely like NEW. Remember, this latest version has the retractable, built-in metal hood. Comes with EX++ original caps, box, leather case, and booklet. $695. 4. Tom Abrahamsson Rapidwinder. What can I say except that the condition is MINT. It has no signs of use, and glides as smooth as silk. In box, regularly lubricated. $350. BUY EVERYTHING at once and take it ALL for $3500, shipped! FIRST COME, FIRST SHIPPED! **************************************************************************** ***** WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR, AND WHAT I WILL CONSIDER AS TRADE ITEMS: 1.
