[Leica] Re: Best camera deal you (personally) have ever gotten.......

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

There was this pawn shop, there was this 75mm Lux there, there was this $75 
price on it, there was now a new 75mm owner, then there 
was a new 75mm seller, then there was a new 35/f2 and 90/f2 owner.

Oh wait. There was this great deal on a Leica M2, Leica M3 , 50/f2 DR, 
35/2.8, 90/2.8, 135/f4 Tele, plus misc Leica items, new bags, 
cases, lens caps, etc. along with a plain old Nikon F with prism finder, 
50/f2, 28/3.5,135/3.5. Plus Nikon cases and bags.

I kept the Leica gear after selling the 4,376 Nikon F ever made with lenses 
for a little over $1200. I paid $1200 for the whole 
outfit.
