[Leica] leica telephoto lens

[richard wu <finance_richard@yahoo.com>]

I disccovered that I have two 135/4.5 Hekotar 135/4.5 one in M and one
in Screw mount in my closet which I almost forgot.  There was an
interesting article in the Leica historical society publication
praised these 135/4.5 as undervalued treasues.  If someone is
interested in the 135/4.5 telephoto lens, let me know.  M version(ex+)
for $150, Screw mount (Ex)for $99.  shipping is extra $5.5
