NEW Leica M2 Chrome Abrahamsson Rapidwinder $700
From 1960 to 1966 Leica produced an estimated 2-3,000 bottom trigger wind Leicavit MP's for the Leica M1 and M2. Today they are sought after collectibles often bringing upwards of $3,000 in nice shape. Unfortunately many no longer work due to a lack of repair parts. Tom Abrahamsson of Rapidwinder.com fame produced a limited edition of 300 M2 Rapidwinders. These are now discontinued and sold out. Over 80,000 M2's were produced, yet there may be less than 1000 working Leicavit MP's plus only another 300 M2 Rapidwinders. Note that the neither the M6 Rapidwinder, nor the new 2003 issue Leicavit MP will fit the M2. This is my last M2 Rapidwinder.

NEW Metal Hoods for Classic Leica Lenses!
New Metal Hoods $30, push-on Voigtlander Metal Cap $20 with hood. OK, most of the screw in hoods below were designed for the 35/50 lenses, but IF you can't find the proper vintage hood for your 85/90/100/135 lenses, these will do a lot better job than NO lens hood to reduce flare
