Subject: [Leica] For Sale Friday

FOR SALE. 

All prices in U.S. dollars.  Shipping extra (shipping from Canada is
very close to the costs within U.S.).  No U.S. duty applies on used camera
equipment from Canada.  Satisfaction guaranteed.

Hektor 73mm f1.9 Series VI adapter.  Made by Tiffen, this allows you to use
Series VI filters and lens hood on a 73mm Hektor.  This example comes
with both the upper and the bottom ring.  Some tarnish to the metal on the
bottom ring.  A very hard to find item.  $25

Fed 2 body.  Looking for a second LTM body that you can take places like
white water rafting where you wouldn't risk your IIIg?  How about this
later version Fed 2 body?  This is not your usual eBay junk, but a body
that has been carefully CLA'd, is in perfect working order and much
smoother than your usual Fed.  Ed Romney says that the Feds are
wonderful cameras *if they are properly adjusted by a technician*. 
This one illustrates the veracity of Romney's claim.  The Fed 2 is a
great design.  Imagine a Leica II mated with a Contax II and you have the
Fed 2.  Removable back for easy loading, Contax-type self-timer (which
works!) and the superb Contax combined rangefinder/viewfinder combined with
Leica II styling and speed range, as well as the later Leica diopter
adjustment.  And, it has flash synch!  Rugged cast metal body looks like a
Leica II on steroids.  Mates properly with all my Leica thread lenses. 
Durable and inexpensive.  $79

Although not Leica mount, this lens is in Contax/Kiev mount, and may
be of interest to those among you who also collect Contax cameras.

Jupiter 11 135mm f4 chrome with caps and case.  This is truly like new, as it
has only been used once.  I haven't checked, but I think it still has the
original packing inside the bakelite case.  You will not find a better
example.  $65.

Proper Soviet lenshood for Jupiter 11.  Will also fit Zeiss Sonnar.  $12
