Only a few minutes left. Nice repaint.

Paint job is just so so

If the paint job is just so so I'd like to see a good paint job in comparison.

It looks like it's already flaking off in spots. From what I've seen, the elusive Shintaro produces better work. 😛

went for $800. I'd have preferred to see one with black controls to match. Anyone got a Luton repaint? How are they?

The seller must have lost money on that one. Goes to show that putting money into old Leicas never seems to increase their value. I have a IIIf with a CLA and curtains from DAG that are worth more than the camera.

Maybe not the bargain of the decade but certainly a pretty fair price considering it's credentials IMO.

Thanks for posting Pickett. 🙂

I agree with the above poster that it would have looked much better with similar black controls...with chrome controls, I would rather have a chrome body.

Does CRR have different packages as far as painting jobs are concerned, cuz I have seen some impressive paint work from him on the net?

BTW, I still think $800 was a low price for a "partial" black painted M2...but honestly, what do I know??? 😱😱

If I recall correctly I think you can request specific customizations. I had my eye on a CRR one last month:

Went for just over 1100 GBP ($1700), reckon he made money on that.

And CRR Lutons page on enamelling:

Well, the seller is certainly legit. Deal must have fallen through.

I had an M3 done by CRR. I no longer have it though. Details here:

I haven't personally seen a Shintaro one but I was well pleased with mine.

Peter at CRR repainted (and overhauled) a 1946 IIIc for me. It looks beautiful and the overhaul, 'new' rangefinder and shutter make it seem like a new camera. I can't recommend his work highly enough.

He has also refurbed a Minox B and LX for me and they are great too.
