[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Leica has disappointed me for the last time and, after considerable hand-wringing, I've decided to part with all of my treasured "R" system equipment. Among the items that will be sold are the following lenses: 15mm/3.5, 19mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.4, 60mm f/2.8 macro, 80mm f/1.4, 100mm f/2.8 Apo-Macro (with 1.1:1 dedicated Elpro and STA-1 tripod ring), 180mm f/2.8 Apo, 350mm f/4.8, 1.4x Apo converter, and 80-200mm f/4. Also on the block are R8 (black) and R7 (chrome) bodies with motors for each and assorted accessories such as the R7 tripod adapter. Before resorting to that auction site, I thought I'd test the waters here. Let's start with the 19mm Elmarit and 180mm Apo-Elmarit. Both are mint with boxes, etc. I am the original owner of each lens. Neither has seen much use at all. The 19mm can be seen here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3310/3658659142_44eef21379_o.jpg The 180mm can be seen here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/3657865259_c0a96d5a00_o.jpg I'm asking $1850 for the 19mm and $2200 for the 180mm. Prices include shipping/insurance within CONUS. Sorry for the inconvenience but I do not accept Paypal. Money order, bank check, or personal check will work. If you're in the New York City vicinity, in person pickup for cash is also an option. I would encourage potential buyers to review my 100% positive feedback profile on eBay (dpfreedman700b) as well as on the Fred Miranda site (user-ID "Tetrode"). All inquiries will be answered promptly. Dave F.
