[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The following items are for sale: Bessa L complete with Voigtlander Snapshot-Skopar 25 mm/4, round lens hood, front and rear lens cap, and 25mm viewfinder also from Voigtlander. Also included are camera body cap, strap and instructions. Everything is like new, and comes in the box. Since I have shot 5 films through this camera I can guarantee that everything is in a perfect working condition. Actually the camera is branded as Cosina 107-SW, because at first Cosina did not have the right to use Voigtlander name in all countries, but this is the same camera as Voigtlander Bessa L, just with a different tag on it. I purchased it from Stephen Gandy - Cameraquest.) Price: $295 (includes air mail shipping anywhere in the world) - ------ Leica I (model A) serial number 47789. The camera comes with a yellow filter (for enhanced contrast), FOKIN rangefinder (this is the one with the big wheel) and camera case. The camera is in good working condition - I have shot one negative film with it recently and was OK - this means the curtains are OK, the lens is OK (since it was protected by the filter, it is without scratches!), shutter speeds sound OK. If you plan on using it, you will have to lubricate it - it seems to me that the shutter is a little bit dry. Cosmetically the camera shows usage marks - as most of the Leica I (A) do. The vulcanite is complete, however there is a crack in it. The rangefinder works OK - the image is contrasty. This is your rare chance to get a legendary camera and a rangefinder. Price: $695 (includes air mail shipping anywhere in the world) - ------- Leica M3 single stroke - serial number over 1 mio. Works properly. Shutter speeds are OK, the rangefinder is spot on and contrasty. The vulcanite is complete. Some minor scratches on top from the Leica Meter. Price: $695 (includes air mail shipping anywhere in the world) - ------ Dual Range Summicron 50mm/2 with eyes. The lens works OK, but has cleaning marks on the front element (this results in slightly lower contrast), and the cam that selects the frames, has been cut away (the lens still mounts firmly on the camera, but the 50mm frames are not selected. On the M3 I'm selling this creates no problem, since you see 135mm and 50mm frames when you mount the lens on the camera). The eyes are in perfect condition and come in a protective leather case. Price: $345 (includes air mail shipping anywhere in the world) - ---- If you want both Leica M3 and DR Summicron, I can offer you both for $999 (includes air mail shipping anywhere in the world) and you get a working Leica Meter MR for free. If you want photos, please let me know. Please check my feedback on E-bay under "matejn". I can also provide you with the references from sales I made on the Leica Users Group. The easiest way to pay is via BidPay. But you can also choose otherwise e.g. Postal Money Order, Bank Transfer ... Please contact me off-list (mailto:matej.novak@hermes.si).
