Leica M5 Black Chrome Rangefinder Camera, 2 Lug
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:7058859 | Brand: Leica |
Up for sale is a Leica M5 Black Chrome Rangefinder Camera, 2 Lug variant. This could be a great option for an economy film Leica to shoot with.
It is in fantastic cosmetic condition, with a clean/clear viewfinder and accurately-aligned rangefinder. All shutter speeds sound correct/approximate to my ear, though I have no way of verifying accuracy beyond that.
A few notes to be aware of. I was unable to get a meter response with the Wein Cell battery I had on hand.... Therefore, consider the meter as inoperative unless some attention/CLA is given. If you are the type of Leica shooter comfortable with a lack of meter, this should pose no issue.
Finally, there is one very small speck in the rangefinder patch, that, while it does not affect focusing, is visible. Again, I bet a CLA would clear it right up.
