Subject: [Leica] MP question: ISO dial?
From: jackmclain at mac.com (Jack McLain)

Gentlemen:

I am about to sell my Leica MP and several lenses and while looking  
around and trying to see what the market is I came upon an  
advertisement for a MP that the seller claimed was rare because it had  
an ISO dial.  What is the deal with this? Is it true that only some MP  
cameras have an ISO dial? (how would one set film speed without a dial  
anyway?) Mine does indeed have an ISO dial and I want to get a fair  
price for it. The serial number of my camera is 2880XXX if that is  
relevant.

On a second note: where is the best, safest and most reliable site to  
sell Leica gear these days? Is it best to sell privately or to ship it  
off to Tamarkin, KEH, et al, and save oneself the hassle of dealing  
with potential rip-off artists?

thanks much
cheers
