Everything is Leitz/Leica original unless otherwise identified as aftermarket brand: Leicaflex SL. Simply gorgeous! No marks whatsoever on top or bottom plates. Overall rating would make an easy mint- or better. Functioning 100%. Some specks visible on ground glass screen, which I believe are the inevitable black paint flecks that seem to find their way there after 30 years, something I have seen in every older camera I have ever held, even those that were still like new in the box. The Leicaflex SL has the best view-finder screen I have ever used. Body only $495. Leica IIIa screw mount camera, sn:166xxx (1935 vintage). Body is ex condition cosmetic, no dents or dings but shows some brassing and a bit of light bubbling of chrome in a few spots. Leather is cracked in a few spots but has been reglued so is still intact. Functioning is 100% and speeds are spot on, rangefinder/view finder is clear and bright (this IIIa camera was recently overhauled by John Van Stelton of Focal Point and I have the receipt to prove it). A great user Leica screw mount. $295 body only. 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 (1939). $650. 35mm f/2 Summicron M. This is the desirable 3rd version (six element) made in Canada, near mint condition but to avoid any misunderstanding I'll call it mint-. Lens is black and includes caps and shade. $695. 135 f/2.8 Elmarit-M lens with eyes, sn: 2424xxx. ex+ w/mint glass, fabulous image maker, includes caps. $450. E. Leitz New York 127mm f/4.5 Velostigmat screw mount lens. mint-/ex+. As nice an example of this lens as I have yet to see. Glass is mint, no cleaning marks or haze. $200. 35mm f/3.5 Elmar (screwmount) chrome finish ex++ body, mint- glass sn:492xxx(same vintage as above Standard) $250. 50mm f/3.5 Red Scale Elmar screwmount, sn:1202xxx mint-(glass perfect) $395. 50mm f/1.5 Summarit screwmount ex++.

Original lens hood (XOONS) for above Summarit $125. Visoflex I screwmount with 5X vertical magnifier, ex++/mint- truly a beauty. $125. Original 50mm f/3.5 Elmar lens hood, chrome. Mint- $75. DEOOC "Chico" Flashgun w/CVOOK connection cable and DHMOO box for the outfit ex+ $20. 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 surface cracking but not bad. Overall it is in quite nice condition. $25. All items are plus shipping, usually $1 to $3 in the US (except cameras and lenses due to higher insurance cost). Shipping cost outside the US will be higher. I am looking for a 35mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R lens (E55 filter size) and, depending on the condition of your lens, am willing to trade some combo of the above for one.
