Leica II Chrome, 5cm f3.5 Elmar 182707
This Leica II (Silver), #182707, is in fair condition with heavy handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (7+). The camera is in proper working order; film advances properly, the viewfinder is clear, the shutter is accurate at all speeds, and the rangefinder is accurate. The included Leica 5cm f3.5 Elmar lens, #572624, is in similar condition, also rated a (7+). The lens extends and retracts properly and the aperture tab is smooth, but the focus ring is a bit stiff. The aperture functions properly and the glass has no marks, or fungus, but there's haze and dust inside. This listing includes a front lens cap, but no rear lens cap or body cap.
