Cheapest M purchased?

[Vickko]

What's the cheapest M camera purchased?

I just snagged a dented working one for $400. Or I hope it is working.

Any Sally Ann $10 finds out there?

Nah. Got a pair of working M3s with a 50 Sumarit and a 35 Sumaron for about $1000 in 1994. Otherwise, I have been the used market's b^tch.

I got an M2 with a 35/1.8 Nikkor on eBay for $625. I really ought to sell the leica, I never use it.

 

[Vickko]

Ha, you should get that for the M2 and end up with a free lens.

I found an M3 with a 50/1.5 Summarit about four years ago in a local junk shop for $25. Talked him down to $20. Sold the lens to have the VF redone, then sold the body to help fund the first M9.

 

[Vickko]

Wow, you're the winner so far

I got an M7 kit about 3 years ago off Leica forum for $800. After selling off the motor, flashes and other goodies, the M7 netted to about $275...

I bought an original black paint M2 for a net of around $800 US.

[Vickko]

Sure, but tell us the story !

I got an M3 with an Elmar 50, and also a 135 Elmar if I'm not mistaken, for $250 maybe six years ago. I've since traded the body but have the lenses.

I can tell you the cheapest was definitely NOT my M8.

I think I got my M5 and M4P for $575 (each). I once bought a used S2 w/50 1.4 for $15 and a used S for $10.

My grandmother gave me her m3. I treasure it, the one camera I would never sell

I feel that's backwards. I would sell my grandmother for an MM. ;-)

There's already a forum for snobby attitudes like that.

Leica CL, compact Leica.
