[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am looking to trade a Mamiya 7 and 80mm lens for a Leica M6 and one or two lenses. My camera is in mint condition as is the lens with about 60-70 rolls run through it. I would like to trade for a Leica M6 in the same mint condition and one of the following: 1. 50mm lens in Exc++ or better condition with significant accessories 2. 35mm f2/1.4 in Exc++ or better condition 3. 28mm in Exc++ or better condition. The Mamiya 7 is a wonderful camera; it produces very fine negatives and some of the best chromes I have ever seen. However, for the night/available light street photography that i have moved into this year I prefer a Leica and I cannot justify having two rangefinder systems. The aim of the trade is for both parties to get what they want without losing the money that working through a dealer would eat up.However, if anyone would like to buy the outfit for cash, I amd asking $2800, which represents a $200-600 discount on new prices. Thank you for your time in reading this and I hope it is of interest to you or to someone you know.
