Note that mailing from Canada is very close to U.S. domestic rates. Leica M2 box in very nice condition. Good display item. $75 7.3cm Hektor screw in to Series VI filter adapter. $12 Metz 36 CT3 Mecablitz flash for standard hotshoe. Accepts special modules for TTL shooting with Leica (not included) $75 Contax TVS - 28mm to 58mm Carl Zeiss zoom, optional data black, filter, case & strap. Perfect working order. This is the only TVS model that will also do take masked "panoramic" shots. Passive autofocus and manual focus, 4 flash modes, + or - 5 stop manual exposure compensation, programmed or aperture preferred exposure, and many other features. $350 Yashica 14E, known as "the poor man's Leica" (presumably poor women shoot other Leica substitutes). Given the lineage, I like to think of it as the poor man's Contax TVS. First camera with integrated circuit comes with excellent quality f1.4 lens. Yes, you read right - f1.4 - the fastest lens ever put on a Japanese leaf shuttered rangefinder that gives flash synch at all speeds to 1/500th. All functions work, solid and smooth in operation. Comes with case & lens hood. $99 Voigtlander Bessa 66. Postwar medium format folder. This is the most compact 6x6 ever made, with a coated Color-Skopar (Tessar-type) lens in Compur-Rapid shutter. Extremely pocketable. $125 I'm breaking up my collection of Diana Cameras, almost all of them in box. A Leica collectors' group may be a strange place to be doing this, but there are lots of strange members who may read this ad. I have various models of this cult camera with different features, but all of them with the weird and wonderful Diana lens. It all depends on the brand name you prefer, whether you want flash capacity or not, whether you want the shutter release on the lens barrel or the top deck or not, etc. I have pretty much all the variants made at the Diana factory. Check out one of the many websites about the use of this camera. These are all real Dianas, which are not in any way to be compared to the more recent Diana substitute, the Holga or, God forbid, Time cameras. Contact me for details. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about any of these items.
