Optically the lens looks very, very clean with no marks on the front or rear elements. Aperture blades look clean and aperture ring feels very solid with positive click stops. Focusing is very smooth. Cosmetically the lens is a strong mint minus (M-) with a few marks where the hood attaches to the lens. Probably got there when I tried to take the lens hood off without fully depressing the tabs, as they go on quite tight. I have since just kept the hood on in the "shooting" position. This lens is known to be optically identical to the current version, but with the focusing tab and much more effective removable lens shade. Asking $550/OBO Voigtlander Bessa-R Black Body with 35mm F/2.5 Classic Lens. Both lens and camera was purchased new early this year and I would rate them in EXCELLENT PLUS (EX+) condition. Light marks on the bottom plate, inside the lens mount (from mounting and unmounting lenses?) and one area adjacent to the rewind lever that is missing some black paint, which doesn’t look too bad as it’s black underneath. This is caused by the rewind lever coming in contact with the body. I had shot less than 20 rolls with this camera and the viewfinder/rangefinder is truly as good as the reviews state. Lens looks very nice with no bad spots, just light, normal wear. Everything that comes standard for both camera and lens are included. Asking $350/OBO I will cover half of the shipping cost and would prefer to ship via UPS Ground (2-7 working days,) but USPS Priority Mail would also work for me. Should be about $10-12 for shipping. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Regards, Thomas ttamura@aloha.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
