Whic M camera.

[ramiro]

A parents of mine make me a gift, three beautiful lens for M camera, 35-50 and 90 mm.
I will try to use it.
Whic M is the best buy, good shooter and not more expensive?

They bought you lenses without a body? Shame! 😛

But since you have a 35mm and want a user camera, I would strongly suggest buying an M2. They tend to go for between US$600 and US$1000, depending on condition, and have framelines for each of your lenses--35mm, 50mm, and 90mm.

:bang: There is also a body, M3 i suppose but it is in terrible condition, all mechanical parts is blooked and finder is broken, so i suppose a cla is impossible.
I have search on the classified, in ths moment i found only an M5 at 1050$.
I have just a complete nikon RF set, this leica set is now only a curiosity, i will wait for a good M2.
Thanks.

Does the 35mm lens have "goggles" on the top of it? If it does, it is meant to be used with the M3 (it can be used with later models, but the M3 is better) so I would then suggest to get another M3.
Try KEH, or eBay if you do not want to pay international shipping costs.

M5 or M6 but you should consider a Voigtlander Bessa if you aren't used to rangefinders.

Ramiro, it might still be worth having a repair shop look at the broken body before you give up. If it is in fact a M3, perhaps Youxin Ye in the USA would be appropriate and economical.
