Film RF Options!?!

Low risk if you don't go the ebay route and shop from a sponsor of RFF, reputable RFF members, KEH, Adorama, or B and H.

I've bought a lot of cameras on eBay, only had a couple of duds. I've bought fewer cameras in shops, and had a similar number of duds.

Cameras don't become broken because they somehow detect that they've been listed on eBay. There are scammers out there, sure, but 99.9% of people listing on eBay are basically decent and honest.

Found an unbelievable deal on a M5 (not a scratch on it) came with a 50 Summicron f/2 (made in germany) with Hood, Cap, and perfect condition leather case!!!! Everything seems to be functioning and working… I just ordered a replacement battery for the meter. Can't wait to shoot my first roll!

That is a gorgeous camera. Enjoy your good fortune.

If you want to have it checked out Sherry Krauter of Golden Touch is an M5 aficionado and can let you know if anything needs attention.
