Leica M3 35mm single stroke Film Camera CLA'd Tested lens quick load

Description: For your consideration is a Leica M3 35mm film camera. This camera needs one turn to advance the film lever onto the next frame (single stroke). I believe the serial dates it to 1958. It was made in Germany. It was CLA'd by Youxin Ye a couple of years ago and used for about two dozen rolls of film since (see copy of report). The camera also works with flash. The camera is very smooth, clean and easy to use. It does have signs of use such as a few tiny bumps (front near advance lever, top near serial number), a few scuffs, scratches to the metal and paint and some cracks and small missing leatherette. This is minor & cosmetic and frequent (many replace leatherette). When focusing the rangefinder in super bright light (i.e. pointing towards the sun), it is of course a little harder to see the focus patch, which common on M2 & M3. Shutter speeds are shown in the video at 1/60th and 1 second. Included is the 135mm f4.5 Hektor lens (also CLA'd by Youxin Ye). Ye states "the lens is clean and clear." It was used once since. There are few minor specs of dust but they do not affect pictures. This also includes a quick load 3D printed film loader (about $75) in addition to the metal one. Both work and have minor wear. Flash adapter not included. This image was taken on lomography potsdam film with this camera and the 5cm summitar lens, also for sale. The 2nd image was an out-take taken with Tri-x. Although the items are in good condition, they are not brand new, and as such, you should expect normal wear & tear, minor blemishes & small imperfections such as minor dents, scuffs or paint loss etc. This is camera that works, but please have realistic expectations. Please review the pictures closely, as they are part of the description. Sold as is with no return to US states only (I do not sell to buyers who use 'proxy addresses' to ship to other locations i.e. shipper x who then sends it to China, so don't tell me that Joe's shipping company is 'your address' - your bid will be cancelled.
