The same magazine has an advert from Fieldgrass & Gale with no less than four secondhand 21mm Leica lenses for sale. There's an R 21/3.4 SA lens described as " mirror-up version with very slight marks inside" for UK =A3400. There are two 21/2.8 Elmarit-Ms for around UK =A31000 each, and there's an M 21/3.4 SA for UK =A3750 described as having "slight marks on glass". If I had 750 pounds to spare I'd be very interested in this last SA, but I haven't called them to find out what "slight marks in glass" means! =A3750 strikes me as a good price though (around US$1200) so if the marks are on the front element it's probably a bargain. If anybody's interested, their phone number is 0181 870 7611 (that's +44 181 870 7611 outside the UK) but they don't have an email address. Simon.
