Now, after bad experiences with my ex-business partner, I'm taking a break from weddings. I'm finding I miss the portability of the Leica more than I'm benefiting from ownership of the Hasselblad. To be honest, it's just too much hassle to carry an F5 or a 500C on anything other than a "planned" photography trip because they're so big and attract so much attention. Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of trading the 500C for a Leica rangefinder kit. I'm looking for a camera with an internal meter, preferably an M6, and optics in good condition (cosmetic appearance isn't that important). In trade, I've got a 500C, 80mm f2.8 T*, 150mm f4, 2 '12' backs, wl finder, Kiev prism, a pile of Zeiss filters to fit both lenses (Softar I & II, Proxar 0.5, colored filters, polarizer), a couple of lens hoods, metered winder, and some other stuff. Most of the kit is Chrome. She can create some wonderful images, but I rarely take her out any more. Any interest? Just interested in trades -- wife is in med school, which translates nicely into "no additional expendatures on photo equipment."
