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