[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have the following for sale: 3.5cm f2.5 W-Nikkor in Leica screwmount serial # 266681. I guessing it was made in the late 50's? Design is similiar to the Summaron 35/3.5. Distance is in feet, apertures are 22-2.5. Barrel shows a little wear, glass is coated as has some dust and some light cleaning marks. Images are sharp, lens works great. Asking price for this Summer is only: $325.00 + with shipping in the USA. Overseas, add $12.00. 50mm f/2 Leitz Wetzlar Summicron M-mount rigid second version before the Dual Range. Serial # 1924029, made in 1962. Lens works fine, but has a few problems. The front and rear glass has cleaning marks as light scratches. Barrel shows lots of marks from use. No dings or dents though. And the aperture ring starts at 9:00 o'clock instead of 12:00 o'clock. Bad repair job? Not sure. But, whoever had this lens did not bother fixing it, they just put some red paint where the apertures started. Sounds horrible, but this can be fixed with a CLA. Lens takes great sharp images. A good user right? Asking price is only: $250.00(shipping same as above) Leica M2 serial # 995726 made in 1960. Rewind lever, no self-timer. Needs some help. The frameline and rangefiinder are no longer visible. I know this ain't cheap to fix! A M6 rangefinder can be installed. The back door vulcanite is chipping off and needs to be replaced. Small parts of vulcanite also missing under lens mount and on right bottom corner. Okay what else...... camera body has one ding next to the film counter, brassing is showing on the rewind knob, there's many marks on the body and baseplate. Hey, it's a beater camera! But, the speeds work great, and the shutter looks good. From the sticker inside, the body had a CLA in 1990. Asking only: $400.00 with $10.00 shipping in the USA, $20.00 oversea shipping.
