Opportunity to buy an M6 TTL .58x for $1200. In almost new condition. What do you guys think?

Not too bad at all. I paid 1400,00 Euro for a factory demo new in box two years ago.And thought that pretty cheap.

yep.. that's a decent price.. I've seen M6 Classics go for around $1000 recently.. but not a TTL model.. and the .58 versions are somewhat rare, I'm guessing.. you won't get one for under $1100, and I wouldn't quibble over $100 on this

No! NO! that is a terrible price, Don't buy it...
BTW can I have the email add of the person selling it?

Seriously, I think this is an excellent price. you find 0.72x going for this price and the 0.58x is so much harder to come by. Also with recent increases in Leica prices, I doubt you are going to find a better deal.

Take it before someone else does ! I am still busy kicking myself for not jumping quicker on a 1250 EUR demo M6TTL .58 a year ago.

How ironic....I just picked up the same camera for the same price, and it's in mint condition. I stole it for that price, and the only reason I got it was because I was first to see the listing on photo.net. You better buy it before someone else does.

That's $ 124 less than I paid for one of mine three years ago. Grab it quick!

That's a good price, same as what sold mine for last year (& same as what I had paid for it 8 or 9 months earlier).
