Time to give some unused gear a new home.  Pictures here:
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/forsale/

* Leica M4-P, serial #1,565,2xx. The camera is in good working order, 
with no mechanical or view/rangefinder defects, and is ready to shoot. 
It has some dings, dents and wear on the "black chrome" finish, which 
were there when I bought it in Aug. 2000. It had a complete CLA by 
Sherry Krauter in August 2001, which included new shutter curtains. It 
has worked perfectly for me ever since. I haven't used it much lately, 
as I have another film body and mostly shoot digital now. I've exercised 
the shutter every couple of months. Price: $725.00.

* Canon Serenar 50/1.8 LTM (screw mount) lens, chrome. Serial #58,3xx, 
late 1950s. A little brassing on the chrome finish of the control rings. 
Mechanics perfect. There is some haze inside.  No oil on diaphragm 
blades as best I can see. This lens has a look similar to the Leitz 
Summicrons of that era. I have a DR 'Cron, so I no longer need this 
lens. Focuses perfectly on my film bodies and my M8. Included is an 
original Canon lens hood (with case) which screws into the 40mm thread 
on the lens, and takes Series VI filters. Three old filters are 
included: yellow, orange and "daylight for type A film." You can also 
use 39mm filters with this hood, they do not center perfectly but stay 
flat and secure. That's how I used it on my M8 with an IR filter. 
Generic front cap, no rear cap, no LTM-M adapter. Price $175.00.

* Leitz 90/2,8 Elmarit M-mount (the classic 1960s chrome version). 
Serial #1,988,7xx. Purchased in 2001. This lens belonged to Sherry 
Krauter. She sold it to me after she found a black one which matched her 
camera. Glass and mechanics perfect, no oil on blades, a little dust 
inside. Sherry repaired a small strip of vulcanite near the rear of the 
lens, you won't notice it unless you look very hard. Includes Leica 
reversable lens hood, plastic front and rear caps. Focuses perfectly on 
both my film bodies, but not on my digital M8 due to the M8's much 
tighter tolerances. This lens should go to a film shooter or someone who 
is willing to have the lens adjusted for digital. $400.00.

Prices include Paypal fees and ground shipping in the continental USA, 
faster shipping or to Canada at cost. I have a perfect record on eBay, 
ID upon request.
