[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have the following Leica R equipment for sale: Leica RE Camera. SN 1789XXX (Germany) black with box, body cap, strap, instruction book. Condition: Outside Excellent plus. Only one small mark on the top plate from use. Operations: no known problems. The viewfinder is very clean with a new focusing screen. Purchased new in 1991. Price: US$395 including 2-day shipping to anywhere in the USA. 10-day return privileges. The RE is similar to the R5 except it has only three exposure modes: Manual, Aperture Priority with center-weighted metering and Aperture Priority with Spot Metering. The built-in exposure meter can be set to spot or center-weighted mode. Shutter speeds range from 1/2 to 1/2000 of a second. Flash synch is at 1/100 sec or slower. This camera works with all 3-cam Leica R lenses including the newest ROM lenses. There is a built-in self-timer and depth of field preview lever. TTL flash with SCA 300 capable system. The RE is very reliable camera that should provide years of service in an R camera system. A great camera for travel photography with a zoom lens, for close-up photography, or telephoto photography. Reason for selling: Just moved up to an R8. I also have an R7 as a second reflex camera. The RE is an excellent user camera. It is identical to an R5 except it does not have shutter priority and program exposure control. It has full aperture priority both in spot and scene average modes. For years, this was my only R camera and now it my backup. This is a camera that provided outstanding service for a long time. 180mm Elmar-R f/4 SN 2935XXX (Germany) black, with both caps. Condition: Excellent plus. Glass is very clean and there are no marks on the black finish of the barrel. One depth of field line has two small spaces missing. This is a handy, light and compact lens for landscapes, street shooting and sports. Reason for selling: I never use this lens since I bought a 70-210 zoom lens several years ago. Price: US$425 including 2-day shipping to anywhere in the USA. 10-day return privileges. R Handgrip #14308 for R4-R5-RE Winder. Condition: excellent plus.
