Leica M3. black paint, 1961. Used to belong to Mary Ellen Mark. She gave it to her assistant who in turn traded it to me in the early 80's. Interestingly enough, it was converted to take the Leica M Winder and Rapidwinder. I sold it to a friend in the e early 90's. Now needs a shutter repair.

Did you get it back?
 
Hey Tom, remember me asking you about my difficult rewinding M2 when we were in Tokyo last year? Yes, well I never did send it in for a CLA. I didn't want to be without a camera, so this weekend I ended up buying a second M2 to use while I get my old one fixed. Four rolls through and the one one seems to be pulling it's weight. Time to ship off the old one.

Leica M5, Summilux 35mm f/1.4 pre asph steel rim (full aperture), Tmax400.

Leica M2 button rewind black. This one belonged to Inge Morath, not as great a photographer as Mary Ellen Mark.

New old stock Leica M6 classic. When it arrived the low speeds started out erratic but they smoothed out and now all speeds are sounding like they should. Ran a roll through it yesterday and developed it. First scan looks promising.

This camera sat in a box on a self in a store since the 80's. From the first batch made ( 1984 ).
