Hello Derin,

I am not an expert on camera appraisals but I know what I spend for  
similar equipment from reputable dealers. I don't buy from auction  
sites.

The camera looks to be an M2 and the lens a collapsable 50mm  
summicron. The condition of the body, assuming the camera is in good  
mechanical condition, will determine the price. If the body is mint I  
would say about $1200 and maybe add $100 for the lizard if you like  
such things. The lens is worth around $350. If the body has scratches  
and neckstrap rubs start deducting. And if the lens has haze start  
deducting. A lens cleaning will cost you about $100. If the asking  
price is around there and you only want a good user camera, look  
elsewhere.

Good Luck,
Len
