A very attractive and rare special edition set
A wonderful wooden box along with a historic M6 camera, the finest 50mm f2 lens and just a great set overall.
A modest price considering the value of a regular M6 and the lens on its own is near this price
A pleasure to have and enjoy and a sure investment!
