> 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.
