BUT* over time and there are signs of finish degradation on the baseplate and rear back door. This is common in some finishes that Leica produced.
No signs of use but unfortunately there are some "minor pitting" in the finish on the back
Top plate, body, front and lens are perfect, the the back of the base plate and back door because it been sitting in its case rubbing against the inner box
Still a very attractive set and would never know when sitting in its display.
Mechanics 9.5+/10
-Meter is working
-Shutter is accurate
-Camera functions are working well
-Lens focus is smooth
-Aperture clicks are crisp
Optics 9.5+/10
-No fog, fungus, separation or scratches in the lens
-Rangefinder/viewfinder is bright and clean
A lovely set and a great value!
Considering what they sell for as regular item alone...
This lens is about $3000-$3500 and this M6 would easily sell for $3500-$4000.
A modest price, a matching camera and lens set with Inner and outer # matched box
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
