If I have to put a couple hundred into it that’s cool, just could do with not dropping £1500+ and waiting around for mine to sell to get it back.
Looking at how practical it’d be to go visit ffordes in person and should probably just ping them an email as well.
I don’t think mpb have anything I’m interested in. Will check.
Edit: yeah no Voigtlander or Zeiss bodies, some Leicas but not m5.
A little while ago I’d been very tempted to try and pick up a cheap early M to sit alongside my digital one in which case I’d have been happy with a meterless one but if I’m trading my digital M for it I think I want at least a meter and I’m not sure I want to spend m6 or 7 money on a camera with a cloth shutter. Maybe that’s silly though.

Does it have to be the M5? having had an M3 and then M2 I'm now using a Leica CL, and I find it the best of the 3, for me personally! The meter also works, which is a plus. I have it paired with a Voigtlander 35mm 2.5. I'm debating if I sell it to fund a new-old digital camera or to fix the Ricoh GR2.

It was a part X - I had to put the rest.
Ffordes used to do commission, but I believe they also do part X. Doubt it would be a like for like unless the values match, but body will value at retail...
Have you tried mpb?
