Description from the seller

Leica M5 (Refurbished)
Serial number: 1350805
It presents a unique aesthetic combining a “hammered” finish with black-chrome façade elements.
This refurbishment work was carried out by a professional specialist. The process involved stripping the original chrome from each piece, then applying several coats of high-quality oven-baked glossy enamel. A four-layer fine-coating technique ensures a durable finish resistant to chipping; this meticulous work guarantees longevity while preventing oxidation and paint peeling.
The camera is in excellent condition and perfectly functional, with a flawless and elegant finish. All components have been tested; the body is in very good condition and the shutter speeds are precise. The rangefinder mechanism operates correctly and the shutter curtains are perfectly flat and defect-free.
The viewfinder has been serviced by Leica professionals; it is bright and clear, allowing fast and precise focusing thanks to the yellow dot.
The light meter cell activates correctly and includes the original battery; the battery compartment is free of corrosion. Please note that the light meter has not undergone rigorous calibration tests; consequently, absolute measurement accuracy is not guaranteed.
Delivered with a Voigtländer brass adapter ring (L39 mount to LM) and a body cap.
as per the photos.
Note: all functions will be subjected to rigorous testing before shipment, and full details will be recorded.

Sold as is.
