[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]LUGers, I have two Leica user lenses for sale: 1. A 5cm, 1:1.5 Summarit (chrome) screw-mount, with bayonet adapter for M cameras - 956xxx, with Leitz Wetzler SL (anti-haze, I think) filter, bubble, and substitute front lens cap (my wife's father dropped the Leitz lens cap into a lake about 30 years ago). There is a slight separation or fogging of about 8 or 9mm diameter between or on an inner element of the lens. Also, the Bakelite ring around the front element has some scouring on the top edge of some of the lettering, for about 150 degrees around the circumference. The chrome is in good condition, with no scarring or brassing. Aperture and focusing-ring movements are smooth and clean. No cleaning marks visible on glass. 2. A 9cm, 1:4 Elmar (chrome) collapsible, 1387xxx,, with original Leitz front and rear lens caps. Glass is clear, and aperture and focusing-ring movements are smooth and clean. Some minor abrasion on chrome on focusing ring in front of finger indentations. Also a Kodak Retina IIIC, 55xxx. Everything works beautifully, with leather case. Anyone interested, before I advertise locally? Charlie Inquire privately to: chkarnes@aol.com
