Subject: [Leica] For Sale Friday

FOR SALE. 

All prices in U.S. dollars.  Shipping extra (shipping from Canada is
very close to the costs within U.S.).  No U.S. duty applies on used camera
equipment from Canada.  Satisfaction guaranteed.

90mm f4 Elmar in M bayonet mount.  This is in excellent condition -- not a
shelf trophy, but a good, usable lens with just a few light cleaning
marks.  Chrome, paint and vulcanite intact and in very good condition, focus
and aperture smooth, no oil on aperture blades.  No haze, fungus,
separation or other nasty stuff.  Comes with Leica front cap.  $199

Leica M2 box.  Some marks, but no splitting or stains.  Nice display item
at a cost below what other M2 boxes in poorer condition regularly sell for
on eBay.  $99

Hektor 73mm f1.9 Series VI adapter.  Made by Tiffen, this allows you to use
Series VI filters and lens hood on a 73mm Hektor.  This example comes
with both the upper and the bottom ring.  Some tarnish to the metal on the
bottom ring.  A very hard to find item.  $29

Fed 2 body.  Looking for a second LTM body that you can take places like
white water rafting where you wouldn't risk your IIIg?  How about this
later version Fed 2 body?  This is not your usual eBay junk, but a body
that has been carefully CLA'd, is in perfect working order and much
smoother than your usual Fed.  Ed Romney says that the Feds are
wonderful cameras *if they are properly adjusted by a technician*. 
This one illustrates the veracity of Romney's claim.  The Fed 2 is a
great design.  Imagine a Leica II mated with a Contax II and you have the
Fed 2.  Removable back for easy loading, Contax-type self-timer (which
works!) and the superb Contax combined rangefinder/viewfinder combined with
Leica II styling and speed range, as well as the later Leica diopter
adjustment.  And, it has flash synch!  Rugged cast metal body looks like a
Leica II on steroids.  Mates properly with all my Leica thread lenses. 
Durable and inexpensive.  $89
