[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Two questions for the group: 1. Used M inventory seems to have dried up quite a bit (probably due to new prices, which are going up again as discussed in another thread) -- I am trying to get a feeling for the going price on a 35mm Summicron ASPH in like new condition. KEH had one earlier this week for ~US$1500 and it didn't last very long. I'm not having much luck finding other non-auction prices and would appreciate any data points. 2. The 12585 hood has/had a cap that fitted over the hood when reversed (I forget the number). I can't find anywhere in my old catalogs any reference to a similar cap for the 12504 hood. Does anyone remember Leica selling such a cap? I don't think the cap for the 12585 would work well because, if I recall correctly, the straight portion of the '585 hood is significantly deeper than the '504 hood. Tks John Newell
