Magnificent, complete loaded with extras.
The paperwork alone with the CORNER brochure is incredible.
A camera that should have never been made, as most have the smooth top plate.
From the PROTOTYPE randomly selected top plate to be used on a production camera. Similar to the THICK RIM 50mm f1.2 NOCTILUX that were only of the earliest examples. This M3, #433 of all the M3 ever made.
Spectacular in so many ways.
A pleasure to have and enjoy.
