Description

Leica M3 Single Stroke (1953, 3rd Type) + Summicron 50mm f/2 Rigid (1963) + Elmar 135mm f/4 (1961) — Fully CLA’d — EX+/++

Overview

A beautifully preserved Leica M3 Single Stroke, early third‑type, dating to circa 1953, paired with two classic Leica lenses: the Summicron 50mm f/2 Rigid (1963) and the Elmar 135mm f/4 Chrome (1961). The camera has just undergone a complete professional CLA (cleaned, lubricated, adjusted), and the body covering has been patched and refreshed. The Summicron 50 Rigid has also been cleaned and serviced, making this a mechanically excellent, ready‑to‑shoot set. This is a wonderful user‑collector hybrid kit, complete with caps, filter, hood, and leather case.
