[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'd like to sell my Leica CL outfit. Details: What's included: Leitz Minolta CL, Leitz 40mm Summicron-C w/ shade and front cap, Leitz 90mm Elmar-C w/shade and front cap, leather case for body + 40mm lens. For a buyer from this list I will include two Leitz Series 5.5 filters (one UVa, one SL). Details/condition: The camera and both lenses were purchased from Sherry Krauter three years ago this spring and all had been freshly cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. All function perfectly, mechanically and optically. The lenses look basically like new outside, have clean optics, sharp detents, smooth focusing and oil-free diaphragm blades. The camera meter has had a new CdS cell installed and calibrated with a 1.5v battery, so no adapters are required. The viewfinder is crystal clear and the rangefinder is correctly adjusted. Although Wetzlar-philes may be disappointed to see "Minolta" on the camera, I took this over another that did not have the Minolta name on Ms. Krauter's recommendation because of its later production date (so that it has more of the in-production engineering upgrades). The camaera top plate shows one or two very, very small pecks that keep it from being truly "mint" or "like new" but it would easily pass the stringent KEH EX+ grade. Terms: I'm looking for $US 1250 shipped/insured to the lower 48 for the whole kit or best offer. I'll ship overseas if appropriate arrangements can be made. Photos are below; first link is to the photobucket album, and subsequent links are to individual pictures. Three day inspection from date of receipt; return of purchase price less shipping costs both ways if items are received in the same condition shipped. Please reply off-list if interested - John Newell http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/ http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/Group-1.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-1.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-2.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-3.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-4.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-5.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-6.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-7.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-16.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-12.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-13.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-14.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-15.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-11.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-8.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-9.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-10.jpg http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii127/j-newell/Leica%20CL/CL-17.jpg
