Anything that doesn't sell here goes on e*ay. Leitz Leica M4-2 body (black) s/n 15318xx. Perfect mechanical shape, used but not abused, paint coming off back door, otherwise a few scuffs but nothing ugly. One of those nice-feeling cameras. I would actually rather keep this than my M4-P, because it feels smoother, but it doesn't have the 28mm framelines. USD 650. Leitz Wetzlar 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-M chrome s/n 19270xx c/w 12521G hood and old-style back cap. Lovely lens, glass perfect, minor marks of use on barrel. No dings. USD 775. Voigtlander (Cosina) 75mm f/2.5 color-heliar LTM lens in box. Black. Glass perfect, minor marks on barrel. No dings or anything like that. USD 215 Voigtlander (Cosina) 25mm f/4.5 snapshot-skopar LTM lens w/optical finder. Black. Glass perfect, minor marks of use on barrel. No dings. USD 150. I also have the following 4x5 lenses available: email me for a price and a pic if you're interested. Kodak 203mm f/7.5 Ektar lens in flash supermatic shutter. Covers 4x5. A legendarily sharp lens wide open. 1/2s and 1s speeds are a bit lazy but think of it as automatic reciprocity compensation. I don't know how accurate the other speeds are but they sound snappy. Glass is totally clean. This is a staggeringly great portrait lens but it doesn't have X-sync, which is what I need. Currently in a speed/crown graphic board, includes a cam for a speed graphic. THIS IS A GREAT LENS. Wollensak 127mm f/4.5 Raptar lens in a Rapax shutter for 4x5. Glass is clean, just a hint of laziness in the 1s speed. This was a standard lens for the speed/crown graphic so if you have one of these babies it is probably already cammed just right. Currently in a super graphic board. Graflex 90mm f/6.8 Optar WA Len in a Graphex shutter (with x sync) for 4x5. Glass clean. A surprisingly sharp little lens. No hesitation on 1s or any other speed. In a super graphic board. A great lens for landscape when teamed up with a speed graphic... Or hand held street shooting! Your cheapest way into 4x5 by far. I also have a bunch of 4x5 filmholders available, all light-tight, which I don't use any more because I have a bunch of grafmatic backs. Email me for detailed descriptions/pix. 7-day no-quibble MBG on everything (but you pay shipping & duties). Payment will be by money order or electronic funds transfer as PayPal have frozen my fricking account after my bank erroneously refused a funds transfer. SPIT. If PayPal unfreeze my account we can use it I guess. Shipping at buyers expense but must be trackable (I recommend air insured with return receipt). Check my e*ay feedback out (I'm 'johnnydeadman'). - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
