Hi Johnny,

Yes, I have the body and the lens.  Both still function, but are in need of 
CLAs.  I have a IIIf RD that replaced it, along with a Bessa R2a that gives 
me a "cheapskate's" version of an M7.

I was a newly-married USAF 2nd Lt., with no car, and there was camera store 
two blocks from our apartment.  I drooled over everything in the store, and 
finally had enough cash to buy the used IIIa with Elmar 50, and a flash 
attachment fitted to a special baseplate by Leitz NY.  It was a nice starter 
kit.
