My friendly photodealer here in Cork has lent me the following equipment for the weekend: Leicaflex SL S/N 13722XX - pristine apart from slight wear on the LEICAFLEX engraving on the front. 50/2 Summicron R S/N 25896XX - a bit of superficial wear on the focussing ring, but glass and mechanically mint (with hood and caps) 35/2.8 Elmarit R S/N 26206XX - condition as 50/2 Summicron. (with hood and caps) 180/2.8 Elmarit R S/N 24555XX. Mint with caps. All lenses made in Germany. As I'm an M man, this is all new to me. Questions: 1) Can anyone give me approximate dates of manufacture for the camera and lenses. 2) Any comments on the likely performance of the three lenses? 3) Asking price for the outfit is about USD1500 (net of 21% sales tax, which I can reclaim). Is this a fair price? I'll obviously be making the most of the loan this weekend, but all advice gratefully received.
