What have you just BOUGHT?

In a photographic fair, I found a rugged leather case, of unknown origin (FED ?), that fits perfectly my iiif. The price was 10 Euros, but the bill was dramatically increased for I had to change the screw (5 Euros).

Front and rear lens caps, Leica flash sync plugs, and one lens hood. I ordered enough caps so that I will have spares which is a whole lot better than searching the house for caps that got up, ran away, and hid in some dark corner.
 
An early production 50 Summicron - M with "tiger claw" tab, hood, front and rear factory caps and orig box. Had the pull out hood version years ago but sold it due to lens flare issues.....this larger hood should help
 
Yesterday. M3 Body 8i6XXX with a 50mm f3.5 Elmar M, and three new in the box lenses. 50mm F2 Black Wetzlar, 90mm f2.8 and 135mm f4. Also a working MR meter and a Viso III also new in box. Oh, and an ITOOY.
The guy, who lives five minutes from me wouldn't give me a price. Finally I made him an offer and he told me it was 10 times what he thought it was worth.

Beautiful set and great story Paul.
Sounds Like it may have worked out great for both of you.

I've never owned an m3 for more than an afternoon.
Got one in last summer and had to send it back.
That one looks gorgeous!

Thanks Andy, The guy was 86 years old and we didn't know each other but had mutual friends. As I was leaving he told me he had a friend with a Nikon he wanted to sell and could he call him. I said sure and talked to the guy on the phone. I thought he said he had an F2 but when I got there this is what I found.

Not bought but a friend is sending me a Nikon FM10 free of charge. Im curious to see what kind of condition it is in or if there is a lens with it.
