Good day to all;

Here are some items that need new homes so I have space for new
arrivals.

Leica IIIc body, Cosmetics Ex- with piece of vulcanite missing on left
rear and the usual scratches and wear on the chrome. Shutter
great--serviced by John Van Stelton last month--quiet and smooth. RF
clean, clear and bright.  VF hazy or flary.  This would be a great body
to put a Voigtlander Heliar or Snap-shot Skopar on with its' accessory
finder.  $300.00

Leitz Nickle Elmar, 50mm f/3.5. Cosmetics and mechanics EX.  A great
picture taker.    $275.00

Leicaflex SL, Cosmetics EX- wear/scratches on chrome, Mechanics EX+ and
very smooth. $400.00

Leica 135f/2.8 Elmarit-R, 2 cam, EX with box.  A great lens.  $300.00

Canon IVS2b body. Cosmetics EX+, shutter needs some more work.  Serviced
by John Van Stelton in Jan. 2000 but needs replacement of slow speed
mechanism.  I used the body several times in the past 3 weeks with B&W
film and other than the slow speeds it works well (1/60-1/500 range).
Great RF/VF--clean, bright with 3 position mangnifying finder-- a big
improvement over a IIIc or IIIf Leica in IMHO.    $300.00

Mamiya Press 100mm f/3.5 normal lens.  Condition EX- with ding on
focusing ring that does not affect anything.  Class clean and clear,
shutter speeds great.  I used this for a project last year and have now
sold the rest of the system.   $125.00

Olympus XA w/ A11 flash, condition EX- with surface scratches.  Optics,
mechanics and electonics EX+ and a great handy pocket camera.  I have
carried this in my sport coat pocket for the past couple years to church
for candids.  I have recently acquired a near mint one in the box so
this is an extra, extra (I have 3 of these wonderful camera, and 1 must
go) $155.00

Olympus 35 RC, a great small CRF camera with manual or auto exposure.
Cosmetic condition EX. Mechanical condition EX. Auto-exposure system
needs work. This camera works only on manual (which should not be a
problem for Leica or Rollei users).  It suffers from a typical
electronic problem where the autoexposure system does not work usually
caused by corrosion in the wire leads to the meter.  It is fixable but
not by me.  Great for snap shot or street shooters with 40mm f/2.8 lens
and mechanical shutter speeds from 1/8-1/500.  A quick and quiet camera
to carry in a pocket or in your hand.   $40.00     (I may have two of
these but someone on one of these lists expressed interest and since my
other computer is having a hard drive transplant, I have lost this
persons name.  If you know who you are and asked about one of these in
the past 2 weeks, please contact me again.  thanks)

Gossen Luna-Pro SBC spot meter attachment w/box.  Condition EX+, works
great and expands the capability of the Luna-Pro SBC.   $150.00

Several hand held lightmeters, ---Kalimar (Sekonic), Sekonic, and
perhaps some others--please inquire.

Rolleicord Vb, 75mm f/3.5 Xenar, interchangeable hood. Condition EX, has
been serviced by John van Stelton in Jan 2000. Quiet and smooth, a great
photo making machine.  $395.00

AMERICAN ANNUAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY, 1937, 38, 39 & 40. $50.00 for the set.

All prices include shipping via priority mail in the US.

WANTED:  Canon rangefinder LTM lenses and accessories, Canonette
cameras,  Rolleicord IV, Olympus 35 cameras, and a Rolleiflex
replacement dial for where a meter fits in the focus knob of a
Rolleiflex 2.8 E (Rollei T meter).  I also need an Argus C44 meter
(L-44), a small shoe mount selenium meter made by either Gossen or
Metrawatt, I believe.

Thanks and Best wishes to all, Mike
