I have an elder Leica III with 50 mm collapsible uncoated lens. And it's a pleasure to use. So this one must even be better.
These models of Leica cameras are heavy (but not too heavy). Holding it will make you feel the craftsmanship of Leica.

If the rangefinder is also in order, it will be great to use.

user leicas are happy leicas because they are meant to be used. If I didn't already have three IIIfs I'd be tempted....

Aw, heck, I can't resist. PM sent. I have a IIIc that would love to have a Leica lens on it.

McFortner --- I paid about half of OP's asking price just for a 35mm Summaron, so you're getting a great bargain here.

Yeah, that was why I couldn't resist. I've been looking at the prices for Leica IIIf cameras and lenses and this was just too great of a bargain to pass up.
