I used it very little but I kept it for sentimental reasons....I like it, and since Salgado used this model to such great effect I thought it would make me a great photographer as well <g>. However, I have come to realize I likely won't use it again and someone else could well use and enjoy it. Although I haven't used it in a couple of years I do always run the shutter speeds every 90 days to keep it lubricated, and it seems to be just fine. It shows minimal signs of wear, except primarily for wear marks on the bottom of the body where the winder attaches. In October of 2001 the original owner had the circuit board replaced and a CLA done by Leica NJ. I have a copy of that receipt. I don't have the camera box but I am reasonably sure I have the owner's manual. It comes with the body cap but no strap. I want $1350 for it, including insured priority shipping to the lower 48. Shipping and insurance elsewhere, if it can be arranged, will be at cost. I can take PayPal if you like and will split the fees.
