But doesn't an M3 have those roundy corner frame markers in the viewfinder, as opposed to lines in the viewfinder of the M2?

confirmed but won't really make a difference?

Have you guys herd of Sherry Krauter? She is a Leica repair person as well. I was curious if anyone has delt with her before. She has a collection of restored M3's too. She encouraged me to call her tonight in regards of an M3/lens combo.

Sherry Krauter did a CLA on my M3 and two lenses for my Focamat lla. I recommend her. I believe she worked for or ran the Leica repair dept. here in the USA at one time....Regards

From a framing point of view, for me it would make a lot of difference.

You do realize there's a WTB section in the classified, right?

I have an M3 + Summicron DR in excellent condition--serviced a couple of years ago and working perfectly, viewfinder is bright and beautiful. It's a double-stroke, though (which I also prefer). I saw this camera and fell in love with it, but only used it a few times. As nice as it is, I've decided to sell all my 35mm equipment--medium and large format are more than enough for me!

How much are you wanting for that DR...?

I've been eying the M3 & summicron combo for the past 12-18 months. Unfortunately, the prices have gone up. You used to be able to find "users" for less than $900. Now they up in the $1200 range. Maybe random price fluctuation or maybe the economy is improving, I don't know.

If the OP passes on the kit, I'll put it up in the classifieds. Better to PM me or discuss in the classifieds than take up space in the main forum.

Did you end up buying a M3 from Sherry? Just curious what you thought of the experience if you did.
