I'm sure there's quite a number of them around, but remember, this is a
30+ year old camera so many (most) of them have probably died off by now.

I would think more than 500 350/2.8's were produced. After all, you can
still order one from B&H if you have the cash. Perhaps you were thinking
of the black 350/2.8. That one is somewhat rare.

The black M-1 is very rare, and I would expect very few were ever produced.
