If you spend time poking around sooner or later you find everything. This is the third Leica I have found through thrift for under $30. I like it's history, and I am glad it has the Zeiss Sonnar because it was probably the best 35mm lens available back in WWII, and the Zeiss equipment now is a much better deal than Leica. Leica equipment is not worth current asking prices on the open market because they have been latched onto by young collectors. You can get a nice Zeiss contax with a top-tier lens for a few hundred dollars, throw in the cost of repair and still have a small fraction in it compared to it's Leica counterpart;
