All prices in U.S. dollars and do not include postage and insurance at cost. Some items offered before, others are offered here for the first time. Leica stuff at the bottom of the list. Voigtlander Vitessa L. 50mm f2 Ultron. In good working order with A-F Gossen meter. Tiny bit of brassing on flash synch, slight discoloration on plunger shaft. Otherwise cosmetically very pretty. Glass clean, Synchro-Compur shutter operating nicely and meter seems on the mark. Pocketable camera with superb lens and unrivalled construction quality. $225. Olympus MJU Zoom 70 (Infinity Stylus Zoom 70 QD in U.S.). Quartz date back, 35-70 zoom. 4 sec - 1/500 sec. shutter, 5 mode flash, focusses to 24", exposure lock, 12 sec. self-timer, all weather construction, centre- weighted average or spot metering. 7.8 oz. 4.9" wide x 2.5" high x 1.8" deep. Great condition -- still has the peel off "weatherproof" sticker on it. Comes with case and strap. One of the better performing point and shoots, in an attractive champagne "faux titanium" colour. Light and compact, this is an ideal backup or take anywhere camera. List price new was $249.99. Now $80.00. Yashica 14E. leaf-shuttered rangefinder with f1.4 lens. First camera with integrated electronic circuitry. Metering visible in viewfinder via light-emitting diodes, similar to M6. Comes with case, and, if I can find it, lens hood. $99. 50mm f1.5 Sonnar in Contax RF mount. Upgrade your Kiev or Contax with this coated lens in a rare wartime (1942) version. I've shot with it and you will be pleased with the results. $125. Leica brochure from 1936, 2 pg. duofold (6 pgs of info plus front & rear cover). Has descriptive information that gives specifications of all models from the Standard to the IIIa, plus Focomat enlarger. Snazzy front cover makes for a nice display piece. $20 Olympus 4 cm. f2.8 lens in Leica thread mount. Really rare piece with original viewfinder, case and both caps. Front cap definitely original -- not sure about rear cap. As this focal length is close to the 42.5mm diagonal measurement of a 35mm negative frame, many consider this the ideal focal length. One of the few lenses available in LTM of this focal length. $350. Series VI adapter for 73mm f1.9 Hektor lens. $15 Leica M2 box. Nice display item. $99. Ever-ready cases for Leica screwmount that will fit Leicas or clones. One appears to be a IIIc or IIIf case, with strap. Some wear to finish around bottom front, plus needs restitching of top to bottom (about 3" of restiching). European thread. $20. The second appears to be for a Leica clone of some sort, and has a broken strap. U.S. thread. $10. The third is in nice shape but lacks a strap and has some scuffing around the nose. It is only marked "Top Grain Genuine Cowhide. Made in U.S.A." U.S. thread. $10 I'm happy to supply further descriptive information upon request. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Langer Email address: mlanger@ccs.carleton.ca - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
