Bit of a quandary....

So I just won this wonderful Zeiss Ikon Limited Edition rangefinder body, and I'm in a bit of a quandary.

I don't really need another film rangefinder body!

What to do? I was thinking of selling it. It's brand new in box, with no film run through it yet. But it seems a waste to let such a fine camera go. It's too beautiful and finely crafted, and a sure step up for me.

However, I need money for an Epson R2400 printer.

I have some other bodies in the closet that I could sell, like a used Bessa R and the Golden Dragon Leica M2, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in either body?

BTW, the Planar 50 is NOT FOR SALE! 😛 Dang lens is the oppposite of my J-8 in terms of crispness and sharpness. I'm gonna need both, just for their different characters. 🙂

It's a terrible problem to have 😀, price on the gorgeously gaudy golden M2?

what prices were you looking for? Probably outside of my price range, but no harm asking is there?

I'm looking for Euro 500 for the M2 (ex. shipping from Holland). I paid that a few years ago, but in the meantime it got a CLA by Herr Wiener of Munich and a new cover by Aki Asahi. It didn't see much action as I prefered the Bessa R over the M2. 🙂

No idea what to ask for the Bessa R, really.
