Sitting on the shelf is BORING and will give them arthritis... but I don't see myself using much film any more. Here's what I've got: a) Leicaflex SL2, silver chrome, CLA'd about 3 years ago by Leica USA with meter re-calibrated for 1.5-volt silver-oxide battery. Also has SL-type microprism viewscreen (no split-image thingie). Has minor crapes and rub marks, no significant dings. Not a shelf queen, a splendid user. b) Leicaflex SL2, black chrome, CLA'd last year by DAG. Also has re-calibrated meter and SL-type viewscreen. As with the silver chrome body, it has minor wear and rub marks. A great user. Neither camera's meter needle illumination lamp is working, but this might be a battery issue. The SL2 meets the old Leitz standard for toughness. US$700 for either body plus shipping. Or talk me out of this. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
