So I will soon be selling my Bessa system. As you might know, I've been having problems with the focus on my Bessa R, so I will only sell the body after I've had it checked thoroughly by the repairman, either to solve the problem, or at least find out what it is. For the lens (which does not seem to be the problem), I will take offers for it now. A quick summary, in case you don't want to read: - ----------------------------------- For sale at US$220 or best offer (shipping not included): Voigtlander Color Skopar 50mm f/2.5, Black; will include large rectangular hood Cosmetics: Excellent, minor wear on focusing lever and barrel from use; Optical/Mechanics: Glass is perfect, all mechanical functions work smoothly Shipping via airmail from Singapore, payment by Paypal preferred, money orders accepted; return within 14 days if you are not satisfied for a refund. Contact me at justin@justinlow.com - ----------------------------------- Okay, long version. I'm looking at US$220.00 for the lens (Color-Skopar 50mm f/2.5, black color), the rectangular hood, and all original packaging. However, there is no rear screwmount cap, so I will protect the end with a rear M cap. If you have other suggestions to protect the rear element, please do let me know, and I'll try my best to pack it for you that way. You might be hesitant due to the problem I have focusing, but I do not think it is the lens that is at fault. The previous owner has assured me that it is very sharp, and I still have problems with the body after having tried another lens. Also, the repairman has checked the lens, and he says that it looks fine. In any case, if you are not satisfied with it, you can return it to me for a refund. Okay, condition wise, I'd say it's in excellent condition cosmetically; there is some wear from normal use on the focusing lever, and a small spot on the barrel (no metal showing through on this though). The optics are perfect, and so are the mechanics (i.e. focusing and aperture are smooth). Shipping is from Singapore, and shouldn't cost more than US$15.00 to the USA, though I will have to confirm again. Payment can be made by either money order or Paypal (I prefer Paypal). Again, if you are not satisfied with the lens, you can return it to me within 14 days for a refund less any shipping fees or duties.
