this one went to a Email pen-pal of mine

I got mine from UK for right under $1900, NO CASE.
They come that way.

Mine is not that high!

I always found the case for the RF's and F's useful for holding the back while unloading/loading. It fits it well, easier than a pocket and cleaner than setting them down on the ground.

I must be middle-of-the-road. My S3-2000 is a mid-series 206XXX. Lens is 206XXX but not an exact match to the body -- off by about 150. For that matter, my 1958-59 model of the S3 is a 6306XXX camera, also mid-series for the original run.

MY body is #209xxx and the lens is 206xxx. I bought it from B&H in mid Dec. last year and paid $2300.
