No, they are not "new" - simply reworked from 50 year old carcasses :). It is not difficult to take the top plate off and have it refinished - sanding, painting followed by engraving."As new", "Shutter speeds are appropriate", "Mint!!"....these are familiar phrases from Russian/Ukrainian sellers. How good the actuall item is depends on your luck. I have several cracker condition ones cosmetically, but mechanically they were about 90%.

during the Leica I and II era? It couldn't have been very fast since my lower shutter speeds are 20, 30, 40, 60, etc.I got a roll of 200 ISO and set the shutter speed to 1/200 and eyeballed f/8 between f/9 and f/6.3. Came out pretty good for a starting point. Seems like 200 might be the ticket for outdoor snapping around.
