Desperate but not serious
I've gotta hit the local postoffice in the morning to sign for it, but a 35mm f2 summicron asph
In a stroke of luck, the previous M2 was an utter dud, but soon after it arrived another one popped up on eBay and it was significantly less and from a reputable dealer and I now have it in hand (hurray for free 1 day shipping!) I ran it through all of its tests mechanically and physically and it is wonderful. Works great as-is. I fly home for a wedding in October and luck has it that Youxin Ye is located a stone's throw from my hometown so I'll bring it in to him and have it CLA'd as well. Man, having a Leica M in hand is sublime. Never had a strong appreciation for Leica until getting my first Summilux and M and now I'm smitten.
Very glad to hear your luck turned around! A good M2 is a very special camera. Enjoy!
Cheers
