Extremely rare, one of the very few first black paint cameras with black counter and all the other early black paint features. The camera is pre-production black paint by special order in original, never restored condition, the serial number is engraved also on the shutter crate, the matte black paintwork is untouched - for sure one of the nicest examples of this world rarity with clean finder and perfect shutter. It comes with another rarity, the matching rare and extremely early (also produced in 1958) black paint Wetzlar 8-element Summicron 2/35mm no.1631609 with black brass lens mount and googles for M3 (very fine B+ condition with clean lenses), metal black paint hood.

极其罕见,最早期的黑漆相机之一,带有黑色胶片计数器和所有其他早期黑漆特征。这款相机是预生产的黑漆特别订制版本,原始状态从未修复,序列号也刻在相机内部,哑光黑漆未曾触动,无疑是世界罕见的极佳状态之一,取景器干净,快门完美。随相机附带另一稀有品,极其早期(同样生产于1958年)的黑漆Wetzlar 8片Summicron 2/35mm镜头,编号1631609,带有黑色黄铜镜头卡口和M3用的眼镜(极佳B+状态,镜片干净),金属黑漆遮光罩。
