All functions perfect. Close to mint with the exception of two faint rub marks on the back and usual strap marks on the plastic guards. $1295. Pictures here: http://home.earthlink.net/~mlgardner99/Leica/M6_85a.JPG http://home.earthlink.net/~mlgardner99/Leica/M6_85b.JPG http://home.earthlink.net/~mlgardner99/Leica/M6_85c.JPG R8 black, Mint-, functions perfectly $1150 R8 Motor Drive and charger - works great. $595. 2X APO extender. No loss of sharpness with this. Mint- $850. R4sP body close to mint. $495. 180/2.8 APO R-ROM $1500. This lens has glass that is clean and clear with no marks or defects. It produces beautifully sharp and colorful images with any of the Leica R bodies. Front and rear lens caps included. The lens does have a couple of problems: this lens fell on the tarmac from my photo backpack two years ago. The focus ring is stiff, there is a small dent in the lens barrel from the ridge on the telescoping lens shade and the filter ring is slightly distorted. This can be clearly seen in the middle photo. Optically, the lens still performs like new with tack sharp images! I've used this lens a lot since I dropped it and the glass is still superb. Works great with 2X APO. I now use only the Leica rangefinders so I am selling off my R equipment. Otherwise, I'd never part with this lens. Remember, this lens sells new for $3295!! I'll give the buyer a 10 day money back guarantee that this lens is still a perfect performer is spite of the dings. http://home.earthlink.net/~mlgardner99/Leica2/180Ra.JPG http://home.earthlink.net/~mlgardner99/ebaypics/180Rb.JPG http://home.earthlink.net/~mlgardner99/ebaypics/180Rd.JPG I have all the appropriate boxes, cases and instruction books for all of the above items.
