Condition of enlarger looks barely used, with just slight marks on the white baseboard. The 40mm/f2.8 lens was purchased separately and does not look cosmetically as good as the enlarger. It has some rub marks on the f-stop ring. The glass looks clear but with a few specs inside. Coating looks fine tho, and the prints from this lens are tack sharp, clear out to 16x20 enlargements. This is a really complete outfit, with the lens and lots of extras included. Price complete - $1650. Shipping is at actual cost from Eureka, CA to have the local Mailboxes Etc properly package and ship it. For pictures and details about the V35 (not mine, but like mine), see http://www.infomaniak.ch/~bonavolt/v35.htm And to quote Ferrel Anderson from today's LUG posting: "I am surprised at the number of LUG respondents that use enlargers and lenses other than Leica! Haven't you heard of legendary Leica lens performance and autofocus? It would appear that there is a market for Leica enlargers and lenses within the LUG community!" Regards, Gary Todoroff Tree LUGger
