Robert - I've emailed you if you really do have a black SP for sale.

I've toyed with buying one, then I swore never to buy a camera just because it's black, then daydreamed about buying an SP-2005 kit, and so-on.

Must be like a recurring fever. Wish I could cure it, and I don't mean "just get over it and buy one".

And to be honest, I have made myself one, with an SP that has ugly engraving.

But it would still be nice to have an...

I have never understood why rangefinder collectors pay so much for their collection. Old age with too much money? I wouldn't pay $400 for this camera.

Maybe the buyer has a mint one, and wants an ugly one to complement it.

$4000...can you believe this?

What do you give me for one that's 100 times better and I'll throw in the 35/1.8??

I wonder what this buyer thinks he is getting?

Hi Vick;

You stated: "And black paint"........What black paint? Hardly any paint left! What a brutal example of an otherwise beautiful camera.

Cheers,

Mike

Just shy of $4K.

Boy, I hope for the winner's sake that the camera works, and isn't just a lump of corroded Japanese metal, glass and cloth.

And black paint.

At over $3000 it is getting a little silly. There are so many others out there in better shape that putting that kind of money into this one doesn't make sense. Makes one wonder what a really nice one would go for.

And what if it is a corrode block of rust with a few tatters of titanium or cloth? Any idea what type of shutter this one has? I didn't ask the seller.

From the seller, when I asked if the camera works:

"......The part to push down to take the picture does not work - it seems that everything else works OK. Thanks!...."

I fold.

It is authentic black. That's got to be worth something. :-)

Honestly, you're right. I'm watching it but not bidding.
