Sorry that I left out some key information from my first post.  I've updated 
the information below.  It looks like the Heliar is sold.  Again, I apologize 
for the bandwidth.

LTM gear:
IIIc serial #417xxx with coated Elmar 3.5/50 serial #841xxx and (I forget the 
designation) hood that allows you to change f stops without touching the 
lens.  Camera and lens (and hood) in great shape.  The slow speeds may be a 
little sticky, I can't guarentee.  There are hairline scratches on the chrome 
base, but the condition of the vulcanite is perfect.  The rangefinder is a 
little dim.  The lens is superlative.  I love this camera, but I'm not using 
it....  I will split up this package if desired.  $450 for both.  $250 for 
the IIIc and $200 for the Elmar.  However, I'd *really* like to sell the body 
with the lens, since I don't want to have the IIIc with no lens.

"Voightlander" 15 mm 4.5 ASPH Heliar.  BLACK. Serial #9941xxx.  MINT.  With 
caps and finder (maybe boxes).  As new, only used a couple of times.  $325.

M gear:
M3 serial #950xxx.  Single stroke.  Frame preview and self timer.  Excellent 
+.  Bought from Sherry Krauter last April, I haven't used it as much as I'd 
thought I would.  I tend to use 35 mm lenses more often than 50 mm and 
longer.  Shutter speeds and viewfinder are great. One chip off the vulcanite 
just above film speed reminder dial on back, and one or two pinpricks in the 
chrome.  Not collectible but a fantastic user.  $1000.



R gear:
Leicaflex Standard, chrome serial #1151xxx with Summicron R 2/50 serial 
#2205xxx, with reversible hood and cap, series VI retaining ring and UV 
filter.  Overall, Excellent + .  Some paint worn off the lens, retaining ring 
is beat up but functional, but the glass is perfect.  The shutter speeds are 
good.  The meter is about 1 stop off, but maybe just needs a new mercury 
battery I think.  Some desilvering in the mirror, which shows up on the sides 
of the view screen.  (Note, I may be wrong about "desilvering" in that it may 
just be dirty and need a good cleaning.  I really don't know enough to say, 
and I wanted to err on the side of caution.  )Small hairline scratches on the 
baseplate.  Very usable with a nice lens.  Vintage instruction book included. 
 $300.

R4 Black body in original case.  Serial #1611xxx.  Excellent ++.  Everything 
working as it should. This was my electronic R body until I got an R8.  Hell 
of a good entry into the R system or backup body.  $350.
