Subject: [Leica] FS: LTM stuff and fine prints

One of my co-workers has asked me to peddle his late grand-dad's IIIf, lenses
and miscelaneous stuff.  Everything was purchased new by his grandfather,
CLA'd in 1967 and used lightly since then.  None of this is pristine but OTOH
none appears to have been misused.  We will also be selling a Contax IIa with
50mm f/2 and 85mm f/2 Sonnar lenses once I figure out how to price them. 
Inquire if interested.
 
The Body: IIIf BD s/n 532978, w/ beat-up ERC, Leica flash sync table and
japanese accessory self-timer.  Body has numerous little scrapes and rub marks
on chrome but no dents or ugly areas.  Base plate is in similar condition plus
a small chip of chrome is missing showing brass underneath.  Slow speeds
appear to be working properly but shutter has not been tested.  Slow speed
dial shows some brassing.  Viewfinder is clear, RF seems bright and clear but
keep in mind I'm no rangefinder expert.  I've checked the RF against my SL and
they agree at all distances.  Slight vertical mis-alignment.  Vulcanite is in
excellent condition with the exception of a tiny spot between the slow speed
dial and lens mount.  $275
 
5.0cm f/2.0 collapsible Summitar s/n 797976, glass clear, no sign of scratches
or coating damage, distance scale in feet only, focus smooth but aperture ring
very stiff, chrome Leica front cap, chrome metal rear cap, push-on yellow
filter (user condition, brand unknown, marked Germany), plus Tiffen adapter
for Summitar to Series VI filters, and Kodak metal Series VI lens hood.  These
are user items, the hood and filter adapter could stand some touch-up of the
black flocking on the interior surfaces.  $125
 
90mm f/4.0 Elmar s/n 808213, glass clear, vulcanite excellent, small marks on
barrel, focus and aperture work well, distance scale in feet only, chrome
metal Leica front cap, chrome metal rear cap.  $150
 
Leica meter with incident and low-light adapters, probably not working.  $10
 
Zeiss Ikophot selenium meter, cream-colored housing, seems to be working OK,
with incident adapter and worn leather case.  $20
 
I don't have much experience with thread-mount equipment so if there's
anything you want me to check or clarify let me know.  Please respond off-list
to telyt@eartlink.net
