Need to clean out some stuff from the closets:


1. Leica M6 Body - This is a very nice Leica M6 Classic body purchased from
a local dealer (Glazers Camera, Seattle) about a 2 yrs ago. Includes body,
generic body cap, OEM Leica neckstrap.It has had about 40 rolls since I
bought it. It functions exactly as a Leica M6 should - meter is on, handling
is smooth and precise, shutter speeds are accurate and is in KEH condition
EX. The body shows signs of use - its 20 years old after all - but its a
great specimen of a wonderful camera.

Two minor caveats:

1. It has a slight dent on the base plate near the toggle (see picture 7). I
purchased it like this.
2. The rangefinder is slightly off at infinity - it came back from Leica
like this post adjustment and I never bothered with it.

$1000

2. Gossen Digisix Light Meter - Indcident/Reflective meter - small size and
you can get a hotshoe adapter for that old III body.  Accurate.   Just
works.  I just had to get a flash meter, so this is extra.  Going for $170
on the web.

$130 (Deal!)

3. Jupiter 12 Screw Mount 2.8/35 Russian Lens.  Never really used.  Bought
it from a reputable dealer in Russia.  People actually find this is quite a
good lens, especially for the price - its a copy of the Zeiss Biogon.  Lens
looks clear to me.  Avoid it with Hexar, Bessas - the rear element hits the
shutter.  Commes with lens/caps.  Sell for $40-60 on ebay.

$45

4. Olympus XA - purchased from a LUGer a few years ago. Comes with camera,
box and flash.  Tiny, RF-focused, fixed 2.8/35mm lens.  It works, but I've
never put more than 1 or 2 rolls thru it - not extensive testing. Going for
$60-130 on ebay.

$80

5. Canonet G-III QLS - purchased used 5 or 6 years ago.  Quite a few rolls
thru it.  I'll throw in a wein-cell battery if I can find it.  Works fine.
Light seals replaced when I purchased it, but like most 70's rangefinders it
*could* use a CLA. Snap on lens cap included.

$65

6. Olympus 35 RC - purchased a few years ago.   Shot some rolls thru, looked
good but never did extensive testing.  Prolly could use light seal
replacement and a CLA.  Sell for $35-60 on ebay. No lens cap, but a beat up
skylight filter is on it now.

$45
