Film only. conS : - shops are speculating on old cameras, I am quite sure they buy on eBay, and then try to resell at crazy prices (like 100euro for a defective Pentax 6x7 (without prism), 800eur for a rusty 500c hasselblad body). They don't even pretend to offer calibrated-lubricated-adjusted products. I have seen very few sales happen, and at the end of the week-end, you could hear the sellers grumbling. Good for them. - I don't know who sent you this news tip, but I think I havent seen a single Leica, and I have only seen a few very slow-aperture lenses for M-mount.
