[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]In keeping with the idea of clearing a few things out I have for sale a Chrome 65mm/3.5 Elmar, optically lovely, exterior a little worn but very clean, c/w the M focusing mount (for Viso II/III) which offers 1:2 reproduction. 1:1 repro. only an ext. tube away... I'd suspect it's the early version, I didn't know there were two. Yours for œ275(UKP) + shipping. Also I can sell a Viso 3 and M-bellows/Bellows 2 for œ95 and œ95, or œ175 the pair (+ shipping). The Viso has the optional arm for M5 use which also allows M1-6 operation as well. All 4 items together for œ400. And if the Viso goes, then I'll sell an old 200/4.5 telyt (well worn) for œ95(UKP) + shipping. Definitely for sale is an East German 180/2.8 Sonnar converted for use on a Viso 2/3, c/w lens hood, œ95(UKP), again plus shipping.

The 3.5/65mm Elmar is excellent - I have the older version of 1963 vintage, newer is supposedly even better.
