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. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
