I am finally taking the plunge into the RF world and discarding my Nikon F5 & 40 kilo bag with every feasible and non feasible gizmo.

I have been mesmerized by the M6 and now its time to enjoy photography.

I need some feed back from the in the know leictoneons !!!

I have been offered a M6 TTL .72 WITH A 35/1.4 Summicron ASPH , it is 4 months old and 3 films have been run through her, the price is 2900 USD is this a fair price or not.

Any help on the above would be most helpful.

Thanks paul.

I think it sounds good. Go to Don Chatterton's site to compare grey market prices:

Is there a transferable warranty with the camera? Why are they selling the camera? I do not think that the passport waranty is transferable. If there is going to be troubles, it will probably be with the body's electronics. Take a series of photographes of objects at different distances with the lens wide open. This way you can check if the rangefinder and lens are coupling correctly. I LOVE my 35/1.4 Asph and use it wide open often. Stunning lens! I have a fairly new TTL and am very happy with the camera. The metering is much easier with the three diode display and being able to use TTL flash is handy too.
