Hence, I must of needs sell my three M 135's to cover the freight. Here's what I have: 28.135 Leitz Canada Elmarit, first version, Leitz 11829, serial number 2223761 (1966), complete with 14161 Series VII retaining ring, inbuilt hood, 14124 black front lens cover, and 14051 or equivalent rear lens cap. Condition is E — some wear on the mount, glean glass, and the lens has been CLA'd by the noted John Van Stelten. A nice lens and nicely useable. $550.00 4/135 Leitz Wetzlar Elmar (M-mount), chrome, Leitz 11850, serial number 1768403 (1960), with 14051 or equivalent rear lens cover and 14031 or equivalent front lens cover. Condition is E- — the glass is clean, but there is a slight stiffness in the focusing ring, a slight stiffness in the aperture ring, and wear on the barrel and focusing knurling. A neat lens -- rather sharp, and with a removeable lens head for Visoflex use. $275.00 4/135 Leitz Wetzlar Tele-Elmar, Leitz 11851, serial number 220645, with 14608 plastic case. Condition is E — some minimal wear on the focusing knurling and the glass is clean. A really nice lens with a removeable lens head for Visoflex use. $600.00 Package deal: $1200.00 for all three. Or make an offer! Normal Leica Catalog rules apply: I pay shipping in the US, and there is a 10-day MBG. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
