I apologize to those of you who sent me an email a few weeks ago. As I mentioned, this has been a tougher decision than I anticipated. I have the following items for sell. I note principal defects where necessary. Otherwise assume that the gear is in good working order and that it has served me well (and will you) for quite some time. All meters are presently fueled by PX625 mercury cells, but I make no promises regarding life expectancy. Detailed jpgs available upon request. I lost nearly all the boxes in the flooding of my property during Isabel. If I have it, you'll get it. Otherwise assume that I don't. I am willing to entertain reasonable offers, though I've tried to price this stuff in line with what appears to be current Leica market value. I am also willing to consider a trade/cash exchange for a reasonably hi-end phono turntable. Bodies: M4-P, #1586***, CLA'd by Rheinhold Mueller about five years ago, with MR/4 meter, Leica Winder M (includes orig baseplate), and stylish old-style Domke strap: $950 M4-P, #1548***, CLA'd in Europe about five years ago by previous owner, with MR/4 meter, Leica Winder M4-2 (covered in Linhoff gray snakeskin as a prototype by Cameraleather, also includes orig. baseplate) and stylish old-style Domke strap. M4-P covering has a small blister beneath the left strap lug, minor chip above baseplate lug: $900 Lenses: Konica Hexanon Dual 21-35, 3.4-4.0, with finder and all accessories. I purchased this new and it still appears so: $900 Konica Hexanon 90/2.8. I purchased this used, but it appears nearly mint: $375 CV Ultron 28/1.9 w/metal hood. I purchased this new. Screw missing (I'm clueless!) from lensmount, probably when I was still using it on the IIIf. Gandy should be able to provide one, but I've used it for years without worrying about it. Includes appropriate M adapter: $350 CV Heliar 14/4.5. I purchased this new. Includes case for lens and finder. No M adapter (I use it on a screwmount): $295. Leitz Canada 90/2 Summicron, #1818***, chrome, with chrome front cap. Shows scuffs, some very minor buggering of the screws in the tripod mount, some dust between the elements, but otherwise very sound: $500. Leitz 50/2 Dual Range Summicron, #1465***. Typical front element hazing, but otherwise a nice example. Includes 12585H shade. I'll include a bug eye set w/case, but they're out of alignment, showing minor separation: $375. Other: Canon F-1, oldstyle, brassing, screen shows wear (?); great beater: $150. Canon 135/2, superb lens in excellent condition: $300 I'd prefer to sell these together, so let's talk. Ashai Pentax Digital Spotmeter, minor chip in the base of the grip, with leather case: $350 For those of you who've gotten this far. I am keeping for the moment an M4-P body with M3 modified finder, a 50 'cron, a Noctilux, and a 35/1.4 pre-asph. Thanks for looking!!! Chandos
