[Leica] Item for Sale

[Greg.Chappell@bankofamerica.com]

Sorry I missed doing this Friday, but I was not around to send this
message..

These items will be listed as a group Friday on eBay, unless someone here
would be interested.

This is a Leica IIIf Red Dial out fit that includes,

I- IIIF Red Dial body- Excellent to Excellent- cosmetic condition. Serial
#624,xxx, so this is from the first run of IIIF Red Dial bodies. The top
plate has rub marks on the area above the finder windows, and the base plate
has minor rub marks as well as some small pecks in the chrome, and there is
a small ding on the back of the top plate directly underneath the hot shoe
where the chrome meets the vulcanite. Speaking of that, the vulcanite is
perfect. The former owner also mounted a flash in the hot shoe, so the
normal mark of that is there as well. Mechanically it is working perfectly.
The rangefinder is nice & contrasty.

2. Leitz Elmar 50 f3.5- This is an interesting lens. The serial # is 502,xxx
so it is from 1939. Some previous owner sent the lens back to Leitz for
service in the 50's or 60's, though, as it has been updated to Red Scale
specs, including current f-stop settings and the Red Scale focusing. This
lens is in fantastic condition. There is a small scratch on the metal facing
of the lens, but the glass looks perfect. The coating seems very light on
the lens. Looking at it indoors you'd think it was uncoated, but when you
get out in natural light, you do see a small coating on it. This lens was
cla'd by Sherry Krauter in July, 1999 & I will include a copy of the invoice
with the outfit. When I asked about it, Sherry said yes it was indeed
coated.

3. Here is the neat portion of the outfit. I have a Mint- FISON hood, and a
MINT VOOLA. For those who are not familiar with it, the VOOLA fits inside
the FISON & attaches to the tab on the Elmar that controls the f-stops. To
change apertures, you simply loosen the screw on the FISON and rotate it! No
more finger marks on the lens. I also have an EX+ to Mint- original Leitz
screw to bayonet adapter for 50mm lenses, so you can use this or any other
screw 50mm lens on your M-body. Also included will be 3-A36 filters for the
Elmar; a Skylight, and Deep Red, and a Yellow.

If anyone on this list is interested, all of the above is available for
$525.

Please reply privately if interested.
