[Leica] FS: Technikardan 45S, Lenses and Other Accessories

[rgacpa at gmail.com (Bob Adler)]

I would like to sell my TK 45S kit. It includes some old Linhof certified 
lenses (65mm, 90mm, 135mm, 180mm and 210mm) all with Prontor Pro shutters 
(no cocking necessary; self cocking). The lenses are old but in OK user 
shape, though there are some signs of wear on the internal coatings. The 
shutter on the 90mm does stick often, though not always, at lower speeds. I 
am also including a Nikkor telephoto lens mounted on a Linhof board that has 
3 focal lengths depending on the back element used; 360mm, 500mm and 720mm. 
This lens has a copal shutter, is not that old and is in excellent condition.

The kit also includes a custom dark cloth (with holes to fit around the 
bubble levels), a new Bright Screen ground glass focusing screen, a Linhof 
GG cover that opens up to a hood for initial framing and focusing, both the 
standard and wide angle bellows, and a tripod mounting plate for Arca Swiss 
type mount. The kit will be shipped in the ThinkTank bag shown in the 
pictures at:

The Linhof to Hasselblad back mount (image #16) is not included.

The camera itself operates perfectly. Just the camera at BH new, without 
even any bellows, lenses, etc., is over $6,500. I am asking $5,000, net to 
me, for the entire lot. I will even throw in a Pentax Spotmeter (working of 
course).

Hoping someone will recognize what a beauty this kit is and use it to its 
full capabilities. Having gone fully digital, I have substituted this kit 
with my digital technical camera kit. Now I have to pay for the conversion 
(at least a little bit) and sadly part with the Technikardan.

Thanks,
Bob
