Hi Bert,
The world is really shrinking. I may recently have been looking at the
same CLE you refer to in your em on 2/9. I've seen a reasonably clean
CLE selling for NLG 1995 in a camera store on Laan van Meerdervoort. It
was recently serviced by their technician, and appears to operate perfect=
ly
well. I'm not sure if you looked inside (I'm not even sure I'm referring=
to the same camera), if so I noticed two subtle gouges in the pressure
plate. These will have no effect on image quality, however they may
scratch the film surface.
The price is about right for a CLE body in Holland. I am also aware of
another CLE for private sale. It is a complete outfit however the owner =
is
prepared to seperate. The body with Leitz 40/2 Summicron were selling fo=
r
NLG 1500. From memory the body is in better condition than the one I saw=
in L.v.Meerdervoort. It appears that CLEs are fetching slightly higher
prices in the US. Even more so in Germany where they are advertised for =
up
to DM 3000. I'd be surprised to see someone fork out DM 3000 for a CLE,
since you can buy an M6 for less. The world is not just small, its also
strange at times.
Let me know how you go.
