Anybody still have the mated set (Voigtlander R3M or R2M 250th Anniversary Sets with 50/2 Heliar)? They came in black paint and chrome. Are you still using the kit? Have you added any other lenses or accessories to it? if you tricked it out or not, how about a recent photo of your CV 250th Anniversary Kit?

I 'm using it frequently together with a 40/f1.4 nokton and 28/f2 ultron (with minifinder).
 
I still have a black R2M 250 Jahre set, it has an interesting serial number, #xxx251 I think. Haven't used the body much as I also have an R2A. The lens has seen more use.
 
I have the Heliar 50/2 but not the matching R3M. I use this lens in addition to the Heliar 50/3.5. Both Heliar lenses are excellent overall.
 
I've got a lovely 250 Jahre kit - R3m with 50/2 collapsible Heliar in black paint. Also have the never ready case as well and the box etc.

I keep meaning to sell it, as I have a 50 sonnar and planar in M Mount as well, and an M4 and ZI, bit it is lovely.

I had a R3M kit a few years ago. Then decided I'd rather have Aperture priority of the R3A, so sold the kit and got the R3A. I bought the 40mm S.C. 1.4 shortly after getting the R3M kit and still have it. I ended up missing the 50mm f/2, so eventually found one being sold without a body on eBay and snatched it up.
 
I have a black R2M 250 jahre edition with the matching lens. Use a 35mm color skopar on it 90% of the time. It's my main use film camera and shows quite a bit of wear but still keeps plugging along.
