that's actually my listing. am i out of line on my pricing?

the camera really is *almost* near mint, and it was cla'd last year. the 50 cron is nicer than most i've seen and was cla'd by DAG last year also.

if you guys think i'm crazy for asking that much for the set, let me know...

ps--i didn't list it here because i need the cash quickly.

No, Bob, its a good price.

No Bob, I posted that because I think it's a very good price. I hope you are getting some bites! If not, you could post it here and use paypal for quick payment.
Best,
Mike

oh cool, i was worried i was out of my mind or something...thanks for linking it here. pricing these things is always a touchy thing, you never know when something is worth more to you than the rest of the world!

Bob, I sent you PMs on both cameras but the mail bounced back undelivered. Are both cameras still available?

i'm only selling the m3, not the m6. i just noticed the listing and thought someone here would be interested in buying it...

M6 ad has been deleted.

M6 ad has been deleted.

i think that m6 ad was deleted a few hours after i posted it here. hopefully one of us got it, it was a hell of a deal!

I know that Roland thinks I should own one of these, but other than "the spool," it's DS! 🙁

That M3 is tempting. Almost makes me want to deal with film again...almost.

Randy where are you ?

Ray, I'll gladly trade you one of mine (SS) against one of your bodies with 75mm frameline 🙂

Right here, Roland! 😀 And yeah, I gotta disagree with Ray on this one. I love my DS M3 and don't understand why others think it's a detriment. Heck, so many people wind on using two short motions even when they have a single stroke winding mechanism.

No. It's not bad. I have a Oly Pen F that's a DS. You get use to it quick. It's just when you switch back to a SS camera. If you're a brute like me on the advance lever, it means a trip to Sherry! 😉

[vrgard]

I understand what you're saying, Ray. I just haven't had any difficulty going back and forth between DS and SS. Of course, I tend to double stroke on my single stroke cameras anyway.

LOL!!!! 😀 😀

I had a long day... all day meeting ... tough negotiation ... not done, more to do...

Got home, read the "street photography" thread, then the thread about RFF and amateurs... Oi Vey! 😱 Such sturm und drang!

I'm sure this will be mis-interpreted by someone, but I thought your closing line, Randy, was very funny. Thanks.

And now, to bed....
