PAYPAL ONLY. If you are looking here, you know what this is all about. Genuine vintage made in Japan Tower 46 camera body made by Nicca. Extremely difficult to find. The cameraquest website considers this to be the ultimate screw mount body, choosing it over a Leica IIIg for ease of loading and use, due to the M-style back door and the lever film advance. I agree, it is a very comfortable and fun camera to use. (and yes, I have owned a Leica IIIg) This one is ready to use. I would call it excellent condition, but not mint. There are some bright marks here and there, see pics, but no dings or dents. Also, some of the black paint has rubbed off on the corner of the back door, again see pics. These are just cosmetic, collector concerns as the camera is fully functional, all the speeds are good, curtains are clean, rangefinder aligns well and it has a bright viewfinder. Really nice camera. I guess I should mention the 2008 price guide listed this camera at $1200-1500, of course the economy was better in 2008 when we all had good jobs and spending money, remember? Anyway, I'm pricing this one to sell in today's economy. I know you will enjoy using this camera as much as I did. Auction is for the body only, as shown. Comes with the take-up spool. No lens. Somebody will get a nice camera! ALSO, I GIVE A 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, SO YOU read more
