Here is the beautiful Leica M5 two lug rangefinder, the last of the traditionally made Leicas. It is well built and feels very solid in the hand, the all metal construction is exceptionally robust and the attention to detail showcases a timelessly elegant design. I love the look of this camera, especially the Leitz engraving on the top.

The M5 is a unique camera that lends itself to all kinds of shooting, it has the biggest and most comfortable to use shutter speed dial of any M camera and was the first in the M series to feature coupled TTL metering.

It is in good condition with light cosmetic wear. The shutter and meter are accurate. The needle responds a little bit slower than normal, but it is accurate. ***Note that the M5 meter will not activate without a lens attached. The arm will stay in the "down" position until you mount a lens.

There is a moderate amount of delamination on the rangefinder patch. It is accurate and pretty bright. The shutter speed display inside of the finder is slightly mis-aligned by about a half stop. It is still very usable and displays a majority of the selected speed inside of the finder's information window, but the top of the number is slightly out of focus. This is only cosmetic and does not affect the performance of the camera.

The battery and body cap are included.
