The same magazine has an advert from Fieldgrass & Gale with
no less than four secondhand 21mm Leica lenses for sale.
There's an R 21/3.4 SA lens described as " mirror-up version
with very slight marks inside" for UK =A3400.
There are two 21/2.8 Elmarit-Ms for around UK =A31000 each,
and there's an M 21/3.4 SA for UK =A3750 described as having
"slight marks on glass".

If I had 750 pounds to spare I'd be very interested in this last
SA, but I haven't called them to find out what "slight marks in glass"
means!  =A3750 strikes me as a good price though (around US$1200)
so if the marks are on the front element it's probably a bargain.

If anybody's interested, their phone number is 0181 870 7611
(that's +44 181 870 7611 outside the UK) but they don't have an
email address.
