Mine is early black Wetzlar very close to true mint and, for those who care, sports a black 'Leica' dot in place of the red one. Like it as it seems to my eye less obtrusive.

Red Rock State Park is a beauty; I believe it was the first state park in the US (I think I remember reading that on the Park's brochure). Great to be there during such a unique event. Sounds like you made wonderful use of your time and VERY much looking forward to your images. Enjoy Santa Monica. If you want some great fruit, go to one of their farmer's markets. As for the M7, I've looked at some recently completed auctions on that site and they are selling for a bit more than my asking. KEH has them for a couple of hundred more in about the same condition. But you are correct, My M6 sold in 2 days! Take care and stay verticle.

Today I do have a good bruise in the corner of my eye! We have made it to Santa Monica and its nice to have some warmer weather . The ocean is visible a block away outside our window, cool! Can you believe that we had six inches of snow on the garden outside our room in LV. One block from the strip. Red Rock canyon was pretty unique with all of the snow. We were in a 4WD Hummer and got into the park just before it closed. We went off road at one point but got stuck in a snow drift after 200 metres. We were nearly stuck until the rangers came to find us. Once we got out of the snow drift we made it back onto the road and that was plenty slippery enough on its own. not good to be sliding without control near large holes in the ground. The rangers met us in time to send us home from the park which was all shut down. Tell you what though, I am sore today after my tumbles. But I've shot a LOT of snow pictures. Sample attached. Its not workedI up into a proper photo yet but I'm pretty excited for having been there. We shall be discussing Yosemite at great length, methinks! I've been trying to sell my M7 for more than 6 months with no luck. Seems everyone wants M6's. One of those Leica peculiarities. Anyhoo, I can get it back and keep it now. Just have to try to shoot some film on occasion. I have a really nice M3 as well.

It's in perfect working order and has been used to take photos, so there are a few scuff marks, nothing more. I'm the original owner. It's never been dropped or hammered with my head... Pictures are here: http://www.raflexions.com/M7 Asking $1,650 plus buyer pays UPS shipping and insurance. Original box, instructions, strap and a Kirk arca plate for those who dare to use a tripod.
