Leica Leica M2, button rewind, 1958, READ Rangefinder camera

We always really like the clean look of the leica M2 button rewind without self timer. This camera deserves a full service for the photographer. Or stunning piece for the collector. • Housing has clear signs of use. A few spots of vulcanite are missing. Small dent on the side and some scratches. • Shutter fires, but the timing of the shutter is not good and the times are therefore not accurate • Film advance is smooth but a bit heavy • Viewfinder is very clear, 1 bigger dust piece trapped (not seen when looking through the finder) the double image is still clearly visible and is well aligned. Patch is intact and has no spots. If you look closely you can see the 'famous' early stages of separation at the edges of the finder. The question is always whether this will remain stable or get worse. It is a major operation to have the entire viewfinder replaced/repaired. For now you don't have to worry about it, but fair to mention. • Frame line selector works, all lines are bright. • Shutter curtain is neat and intact • Includes original body cap For all your valuables, we do our utmost best to pack it as well as possible. Dutch Customers insured shipping by PostNL international customers Insured shipping by DHL Express (little more expensive, but fast and secure) Including Dutch margin invoice (No vat included, vat cannot be deducted for businesses) * All items sold on Catawiki do not include a 3 month warranty normally applied by The Analog Camera Store. Please read the description carefully and see the photos for the correct condition of the item(s). Tax and import costs are for the buyers expense.
