So, take your time, search it out on the Internet and price it, say, 10% less than the best price you can find. Don't offer to a dealer yet because of the big response you got from users and collectors, who obviously will pay more for clean stuff. Then offer it one item at a time on this site or on Ebay, collect your money+ shipping through, for example, PayPal, and then deliver the goods. Since Leica is new to you, pick, say, one camera and,maybe, a 50mm lens to keep for yourself. If you prefer the cash to the camera, then sell the best of the lot -- the 85mm and 28mm lenses, the M6, the M4 and the IIIF with the self timer. The CL body might bring the least, but possibly not. The CL lenses do bring a lot, the 40mm, the 90mm and others but you did not mention any of them, so I don't know if you have them. If money is secondary, I would keep the newest, the M6 and a 50mm Summicron. I hope I don't offend any dealers but in the spirit of helping someone who says he knows very little about Leicas but appears to know enough to use the proper terms in describing them, this is presented as independent information. --bob cole
