[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Get an early start on Xmas . . . Leitz collapsible f/4 9cm Elmar (c.1955). Nice user telephoto, perfect for travel. Glass has the usual slight haze & a few light cleaning marks. Aperture blades are clean & dry. Front element collapses & extends smoothly. Focuses smoothly. Chrome on the rear portion bears some wear & scratches on the focus dial & opposite the distance scale (marked in feet). Comes w/modern rear cap & original front cap (I'll also throw in a B+W UV filter if buyer wants it). $300 Leica f/2 35mm Summicron-M ASPH (black). Almost brand-new (5 months-old from Rich Pinto), hardly used, & obviously still on USA Passport Warranty (will work w/buyer tomaintain this benefit). Has 2 tiny dust specks inside that have no discernible optical effect (present since the lens came out of the box). Comes w/box, case, hood, caps, & all documentation. $1000 Nippon Kogaku f/2.5 3.5cm W-Nikkor chrome (c.1952-54) for Nikon RF (& Contax RF). Apparently the victim of an impact on the filter ring & front bezel, but was repaired so that filters will screw in. Otherwise chrome is very good w/only a few light scratches. Optically clear but w/a few very light cleaning marks on rear element & 1 tiny bubble. Aperture blades clean & dry. Focus is smooth. Comes w/leather case & Nikon front cap (fits loosely), but no rear cap. $250 (for an extra $120 I'll include a pre-WWII Zeiss Ikon 432/5 3.5cm finder) All suggested prices include shipping in North America (reasonable offers welcome, too). I can also provide pictures of these items (& pictures taken w/these lenses). Thanks, Chris Washington, DC furcafe@cris.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
