Just read that the original Leica M3 had over 2,700 individual parts, which is a wild number to think about when you're holding one.
Found that fact in a 1960s service manual I picked up at a flea market in Cincinnati last weekend, and it makes every successful CLA feel like a minor miracle.

That's a cool find, but I'm pretty sure that 2,700 number is for the whole camera kit with the lens. The body alone is still a lot, just not quite that many.

Yeah the kit price is always a trap for new buyers. I almost made that mistake last year looking at a Sony A7IV. The body alone was $2500 but every ad showed the $3300 kit price up front. You gotta dig into the specs on the manufacturer's site to see the MSRP for just the body.
