I find an M3 in absolutely mint condition serial nº over 1.000.000 but it seems it was a long time without use and I think the lubricants becomes hard.
the speeds 1/4, 1/2 and 1 second are ok, but at the end of the sound of the mechanism is not fluid, the last "tic, tic.." sounds more silent and slow.
at the speeds 1/500 and 1/1000 the curtains run without leaving space between them. all the other speeds seems ok.
I'ts possible to say that is only a lubrication problem?
I live in Chile. Do you know who can do a CLA well done?
How much cost to do it?
It's better send the camera to Leica in Germany?
the M3 comes with a Summilux 50 mm pre 1.844.000 serial nº. (1.757.997)
Where I can find information about this lens, the comparison with post 1.844.000 serial nº, and the current one?
(please excuse my english)
thanking you in advance.
