DescriptionSerial #948883, black enamel, with box
TextThe M2 was a less expensive version of the M3. It used a manual-setting exposure counter and had no self-timer. Its viewfinder range finder system added bright fames for 35-, 50-, 90-, and 135mm lenses. This rare black enamel version is prized by collectors.
