Includes 12504 lens hood. Mint- $695. 35 f/3.5 Summaron-M E39 mount sn: 1148xxx Lens is mint- but has been modified to bring up the 35mm frameline (as original it was made for the M3 and brought up the 50mm frameline so had to be used with a 35 Brightline finder camera. This mod is, therefore, desirable from a use standpoint). This is not an M3 lens (i.e., it never had eyes so rangefinding on any M camera is correct). This lens is exceptionally close to a 35 f/2 Summicron in image quality but much less expensive if you do not need the additional speed of the Summicron. Includes caps $225. Leica Standard (E) Camera sn:322xxx (1939 vintage) ex+ or better condition. Vulcanite/leather all original and intact, no brassing, some light scuff marks on bottom plate. Quite remarkable condition for a camera this age. Functions 100%. The camera was described as mint- when I bought it and some might even call it that in consideration of its age but I grade harder than others so will call it ex+. $650. 35mm f/3.5 Elmar (screwmount) chrome finish in original accessory brown leather case. Lens body is ex++, glass about mint/mint- sn:492xxx (same vintage as above Leica Standard) $250. 50mm f/3.5 Elmar Red Scale (screwmount) sn:1202xxx mint-/ex+ (glass perfect) $395. Visoflex I screwmount with 5X vertical magnifier, ex+/mint- truly a beauty. $125. 50mm f/1.5 Summarit screwmount ex++ Very light, almost unnoticeable cleaning marks in front element otherwise it would be an easy mint- (unless it is new in the box I don't think it can be called mint). Includes caps and skylight, yellow, & green original Leitz filters. $375. Original lens hood (XOONS) for above Summarit $125. Russian Orion 15 28mm f/6 in LTM. Lens body/barrel is at least ex+ and glass is mint/mint- This lens is an exceptional performing wide angle and getting quite difficult to find. $195. Very inexpensive for a wide angle of such good optical quality, though it is a bit slow. Russian Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 Zeiss Sonnar clone. Exceptional image quality. Lens is mint- black barrel. $50. HFOOK rangefinder with original foot. Black and nickel (nice mate to the above Standard). $175. DEOOC "Chico" Flashgun w/CVOOK connection cable and DHMOO box for the outfit ex+ $20. NOOKY-HESUM close focus adapter for 5cm Hektor, Summar, Summarit ex+ $60. Novoflex Exacta lens to Leica thread mount body adapter. Allows you to use Exacta lenses on a Leica screw mount body. mint- $50. Leather ever-ready camera cases for Leica II though IIIa in ex++ condition, all stitching intact and leather looks nice but old. Strap shows some cracking but not through. $30. Another leather ever-ready case, this one for Leica I, Il, & III c through f cameras. Leather is difficult to describe condition wise but based on the light amount of wear on this one I'll say it is ex++/mint-. It is very nice inside and out. Not like new but very very nice. $45. Prices are plus shipping (about $1 to $3 via priority mail in the US, except for insured cameras and lenses. Higher shipping cost to go outside the US). Don't like my prices? Offers will be considered. Trades for Leica R stuff also considered. I am looking for a 180 f/2.8 Elmarit-R or something in the 180 range or longer. I am also looking for an R4sP or an RE. I am not a dealer. These are items I have accumulated over the years and don't use enough to warrant keeping them. Your money returned if not as described. e-mail to dbledsoe@micron.net for additional details. Thanks, Don
