Leicaflex SL (black)

@Paul Howell -- don't spend much money on a Leicaflex - oldest or SL variety. It's one of those things that may be working fine when you get it and stop working relatively quickly. Getting them fixed seems to be a challenge.

Which one are you actually considering ?

SL 2 with TTL metering. I could get by the SL with external meter, just prefer the internal meter.

Are you sure you got that one right?

 

[Paul Howell]

Your right the Leica flex was external, the SL and SL 2 internal.

Prices people mention here are very high in my experience..... I bought several SL's and lenses over the past couple of years, paying typically some €200 - €270 for an SL in good shape including Summicron 50 lens, sold some for similar prices

So you bought and sold them for half the price of the lens on its own?

Like many high precision mechanical devices, being left on a collectors' shelf to be gloated about is about the worst possible thing that can happen to them.
