Copy of "Leitz Focomat V35 Autofocus Instructions" manual
Beautiful official 8" round decal "Leitz Focomat V35AF Specialist" to
proudly display on your darkroom wall or car bumper.

Condition of enlarger looks barely used, with just slight marks on the
white baseboard. The 40mm/f2.8 lens was purchased separately and does not
look cosmetically as good as the enlarger. It has some rub marks on the
f-stop ring. The glass looks clear but with a few specs inside. Coating
looks fine tho, and the prints from this lens are tack sharp, clear out to
16x20 enlargements. This is a really complete outfit, with the lens and
lots of extras included.  Price complete - $1650.
Shipping is at actual cost from Eureka, CA to have the local Mailboxes Etc
properly package and ship it.

For pictures and details about the V35 (not mine, but like mine), see

And to quote Ferrel Anderson from today's LUG posting:
"I am surprised at the number of LUG respondents that use enlargers and
lenses other than Leica! Haven't you heard of legendary Leica lens
performance and autofocus?  It would appear that there is a market for
Leica enlargers and lenses within the LUG community!"
