I am going to be sending in my beloved Noctilux to Leica NJ for servicing and expect it to be out of action for up to 6 months. It has an extreme stiffness to focusing that Sherry Kräuter was unable to address, and she said it would need to be sent to Leica NJ directly and might even require factory servicing in Solms. Either way, based on prior LUG comments about Leica factory servicing for both NJ and Solms, I expect it will be out of my hands for awhile, which leads me to my sale offer. I wish to sell the items listed below so I may get a Summilux 50mm ASPH or a Summilux 35mm ASPH to cover for my Noct while it is in the shop. However, if a good trade appeared, I would be interested in that as well. Please contact me off list if you are interested in any of the items offered below. All items negotiable. /Mitch Zeissler +++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tripod ___________________ Mamiya AY702 carbon fiber tripod [serial: RJ1xxx] asking $450 - Purchased new in May 1999; rarely used, almost new condition - 4.9 feet tall with all 3 leg sections and center column fully extended - 19 inches fully closed - 3.28 lbs in weight, made of 7 ply carbon fiber tubing - Leg angles: 25, 60 and 80 degrees ___________________ Gitzo G1275M Off-Set Magnesium ball head [serial: 197xxx] asking $130 - Purchased new in May 1999; rarely used, almost new condition - 4.33 inches in height - 1.19 lbs in weight - 11 lbs max load +++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Leitz Lenses ___________________ 1937 Leitz Wetzlar Xenon 50mm f/1.5 - S mount [serial: 375xxx] asking $600 [with caps and lens hood] - Lens overall in Excellent (-) to Very Good (+) condition.
