So, making the decision to start letting go of gear. This isn't a GAS situation, but more like a life situation. I've been struggling with being too focused on cameras and not enough on life, so going to run the social experiment and let some material stuff go.
Keeping my coveted Nikon SP, so not going completely crazy...lol.
This M3 double stroke had a CLA approximately one year or less before I picked it up. I've owned it approximately one year I think. Works like a charm. I did receive some film from a friend that had some jacked up taping on the roll. After that roll of film, the camera would every now and then seem to have a partial spacing issue on one frame only. I could tell a piece of the film itself had dislodged from the jacked up roll. So, pulled out the canned air, cleaned everything out, checked it over, and has now run a few rolls through it without issue at all. Shutter speeds seem spot on and all operations are smooth.
This one is in great shape. Had the vulcanite replaced during the CLA I believe. It has the high end Luigi case and matching strap. The case has the raised portion for grip. The case and strap were around $300 +.
It also has a fully CLA'd and recalibrated MR light meter on it. These run around $250 from the guy that does them. Works perfectly with highly accurate readings.
Also has the .85 magnification piece on it. This magnifies the area, but also expands so you can see outside the frame lines easier. It simply screws on and off.
I have the white plug covers that typically come on these as well. I just replaced with black ones, but I'll send both.
The shutter release is slick. Also a crazy priced little gadget to pick up. Seems to run in the $200 +/- range when they are in good shape like this one.
The Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 MC II Nokton lens is in great shape. Has a speck of dust in the rear, which I understand is common for these. You could open it up and blow it out with no issue, but because it doesn't effect the image I have never bothered. In other words, great lens with no issues, but mentioning the dust in the event someone is a jacka$$ about it.
$2350 + shipping
Trades? Eh, not so sure. Probably not, but hey, feel free to ask. A Rollieflex TLR 2.8 series might get attention, but still not sure.
