They are as follows: Leica LTM rangefinder #4359xx w/ collapsible LTM summitar 50/2. Camera is sans vulcanite and well worn. Lens has light marks on front element but they may well be residue rather than scratches. RF is clear and camera appears to be in working order. Owner says he has the vulcanite somewhere. Rolleiflex TLR #20590xx w/ Xenar 75/3.5 in leather (n)ever-ready case. Camera is also well used but appears to be in working order. My guess is that neither camera has taken a picture for the best part of a quarter century and so could both do with a full CLA and some TLC. However I don't think anything is broken and the optics look okay. Probably decent user cameras in other words. I know it isn't Friday but if anyone is interested in purchasing these please contact me offlist. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
