Looks like the viewfinder window is broken... and then some minor wear of course...😉

Chrome baseplate as well. Reserve at $4500? Good luck to him on the sale.

I mean, I know that once you've had black, and all that, but honestly, you can rent a lot of nude models and buy a lot of film for that price.

Hell, there are places in the world where you can BUY a nude model for that money.

I'd rather have any plain old normal M-mount body for 1/10th of the price any day.....

this guy has ended the auction and relisted it a couple of times now. i'm surprised it is getting bids, it looks like it spent some time in a bucket of water. i'm also surprised it's up to $3k because there is another one listed by arsenal as a working camera for $3600BIN.

I was happy to get the chrome M2 I snapped up. Now I'm seeking a non-fancy user M3 to keep it company... there seems a lot of collectible specimens out there but few users.

Speaking of which- The price of black ones.. YOW! How did a simple coat of black enamel add such value to a camera?

It's simple, Jim: users are used and their owners don't want to give them up.

Models come and go and film gets used up. A black M2 lasts forever and may even appreciate.

Not the one in the ebay listing though, I'm afraid 😉
