I purchased my M3 with Summarit in a small camera repair in Cairo,
located near the Ministry of Interior/Justice or so (as far as I
remember, he is mentioned in the tourist books). There I also met a
koptic priest with an amazing, but sort of unstructured collection of
Leica gear, mostly from the early 1950s (=pre Ms), and also R4/R4/SL
with lenses. He was willing to sell, showing a list with however some
weird asking prices. Not generally to high, but simply off the typical
rates. 

Of course no luggers there five years ago.
