What it is
{"overview":"The Leicaflex SL is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera introduced by Leitz in 1968 as the successor to the original Leicaflex. Standard chrome bodies sell for less than clean black-paint examples, and condition drives value heavily — a working body with clean prisms and a responsive meter is worth considerably more than a rough or non-functioning one. Inspect the prism for desilvering spots visible in the finder, confirm the mirror damper foam has not degraded, and fire the shutter at all speeds to listen for sluggish slow-speed escapement. Black-paint bodies, NASA\/U.S.

Questions
Does the meter condition affect the price?
Yes — a dead or erratic meter is the single biggest factor pushing an SL toward the bottom of the price range, since repair is specialised and parts are limited.
