I sold a whole bunch of film equipment to a collector here a month ago, mainly Leica M, which included an M3, an M2, and all the lenses being discussed here, just retaining a base set of an M3, 21mm Color Skopar, 35mm Summarit, 50mm Summicron and 90mm Elmar. I am also down to an R 6.2 with 24mm and 50mm - I have converted the 100mm macro to Nikon mount. There is a Nikon collector coming tomorrow to look at a set of F,F2,F3 and F4 (all meters working and recently serviced by Nikon) with various manual focus lenses, the only two I am retaining are the 105 f2.5 and 55mm macro. That would leave a F3 Titanium and a F100 with me, and a Mamiya 645E kit (55mm, 80mm, 150mm) left to sell - in MF I plant to keep my Rolleiflex, and that is all. I am selling off pretty much 40 years of equipment that I have used, after much soul searching. I plan to replace these with a Panasonic G2 with the 20mm lens (and a 4/3 to M adapter which Howard has very kindly already sent) and a Nikon D700 (or equivalent). It will release a complete cupboard for additional storage! Spring cleaning!
