[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I bought a 50 1.4 R lens [2nd version] from KEH recently rated BGN. It was about 400 bucks. I thought it would be pretty rough cosmatically. I was amazed, it hardly looked used at all. The mechanisms were smooth, the only thing that seemed "wrong" was a bit of dust/fluff on one of the elements, which I don't think has any real effect on my pics [nothing I can see anyway]. They're a good outfit. >From: Harrison McClary <lists@mcclary.net> >Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> >To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> >Subject: [Leica] KEH and the M5 >Date: Tue, 15 May 2007 13:54:33 -0500 > >You all may remember last week I was asking about an M5 that I had bought >from KEH.
