This is a very desirable set for many reasons. Firstly the very small limited # and the combination of the M6 and the very desirable 35mm f2 4th Version KOB 7 element lens in silver finish

A fantastic camera set.
All as new and complete
A very desirable lens and camera combination.
Great value considering a regular M6 and this particular chrome 35mm f2 would add up to $9500-10,000 not being a special edition.
To find a limited only 200pc special set with such presentation and historic value is surely a set that is undervalued now and will rise once properly understood.
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
