At this time, I'm thinking in terms of trading a tele and WA for a different tele and WA, not selling and purchasing separately. If this rings a bell for anyone, please contact me off-list at newellj at gmail. The idea would be to trade two for two and perhaps wind up net even in a cashless trade. What I've got/what I would like to find: 1. 90mm Summicron Apo ASPH with box and case, 6-bit coded. Perfect mechanics and glass, minor bright spots on focusing and aperture rings. Lens was CLA'd by DAG several years ago, in part to fix the sticky focus issue. I would like to wind up with a 90mm Elmarit-M (not the Summarit and not one of the earlier Elmarit or Tele-Elmarit lenses) with box, case and 6-bit coding. 2. 35mm Summicron ASPH with box and case, 6-bit coded. Perfect mechanics, glass and cosmetics. I would like to wind up with a 28mm Summicron-M ASPH with box, case and 6-bit coding. Pictures, more details, etc. all better worked out off-list. Shipping and insurance costs means it is probably easier to do this within the US but I'm open to discussing the practicalities of a cross-border trade. If you think I'm smoking something, no need to reply ;-) I'll interpret silence as a thumbs-down. Thanks John Newell
