[AlwaysOnAuto]

Would this be considered a deal?

Not IMO, average to high priced. Other's might give you better guidance though, I'm not too familiar with pre-M pricing.

If the summitar is relatively scratch free and the VF isn't dim then it's a decent deal. Not outrageous on either end of the price spectrum. Unless you have proof of a recent CLA then you'll need to factor that into the cost.

I think you could put that deal together from a better source, if you're patient. Something about that camera -- the slow speed dial, the graphics, the lettering, the screws on the baseplate, something -- doesn't look right to me. Of course there are others who know these cameras better than anyone. I'm only mildly familiar.

I wasn't looking to buy it. I ran across it while looking at C-list last night and was wondering if it would be considered a good deal at that price.

Kinda strange -- the camera looks super clean, but the lens seems to have been cleaned, too, but with Brillo.

You've got better eyes than mine if you can see that in those blurry, tiny pictures.

...the repeated use of 'Summita'

Camera looks perfectly fine, nothing wrong there (I do have 3b).

I fully agree. This camera looks very nice. Remember the IIIb is relatively rare. Many more IIIa-s are offered. $350-400 for the body only is not too much asked. Including the Summitar athis would be a good deal!
