You've seen them on the Web, and a growing number of list members and others 
thoughout
the world have them in their private collections.  Yes, it's my weekly sales 
pitch
for fine prints of my photographs.
 
Prints now available, including those made with off-topic equipment, are at:
 
http://www.wildlightphoto.com/ordering.html  

Prints can also be made from many of the other photographs on my website, 
call or
e-mail for more info.
 
FS: Parts for many Leica reflex cameras are listed at 
http://www.wildlightphoto.com/leica/flexbits.html

FS: Leicaflex SL2, black chrome, with the very scarce microprism viewscreen. 
 The microprism viewscreen for the SL2 is no longer available from Leica USA 
or Leica in Solms; this particular camera has the last microprism screen 
Solms had.  CLA'd last year by DAG, cosmetically a USER camera with finish 
wear and shrinking/lifting leatherette on back.  No dents, meter and shutter 
working well, viewfinder clean and free of fungus or de-silvering.  US$750 
plus shipping.

FS: Leica R-E in fair condition, sold AS-IS.  The camera looks good and 
works well in auto-exposure mode but is unreliable in manual mode, shutter 
hanging open at unpredictable times.  Sherry, DAG and Leica USA will tell 
you this particular camera is unrepariable because there is hidden damage in 
the main casting near the tripod socket.  The tripod this camera was on was 
knocked over and the camera's main casting cracked near the tripod socket.  
If you have a repair technician who will repair the manual-mode problem w/o 
replacing the main casting this camera might be repairable, or you can avoid 
manual mode, or use this camera for parts.  US$100 plus shipping.
