[Leica] Friday FS: Hexar RF, Leica M8 plus huge bonus package

[dstella1 at ameritech.net (Dante Stella)]

Two items (no Paypal surcharge; add actual shipping):

1.      Hexar RF body.  One owner (me). In 2009, DAG changed the register to 
match Leica exactly. He was recollimating my Leica and Konica lenses for my 
M8 (all lenses back-focused on the M8) and said "send everything in" to 
avoid creating new imbalances.  So you can bury any metaphysical doubts you 
have (I never had any).  

Perfect finish (not a mark), perfect function, with 

- strap and protectors (not mint)
- normal eyepiece (I can supply a -2 for an additional cost)
- retail box for body
- velvet presentation case
- HX-18W dedicated flash with case
- Konica ever-ready case with box
- Japan Exposures adapter to use Leica magnifiers and diopters

...as well as two sets of CR2 batteries, which at 100 rolls per set may 
exceed the rest of your life's film output.  If I can reasonably find the 
owners manual and serial # card (probably buried in a file somewhere), 
you're welcome to them.  Sad to say, my film output in 35mm has diminished 
greatly - but if you are a film type, this is a much lighter, smaller and 
more elegant alternative to an M7 with a motor drive.

$759

2.      Leica M8.   One owner (me - bought new from Calumet), black chrome, 
black dot, 99+% cosmetics (a couple of now-you-see-it-now-you-don't faint 
marks on the top), screen perfect, all factory accessories (factory battery 
charged maybe 20-30 times only - I used aftermarket batteries primarily, 
cables, strap, charger, software, manuals, etc) and packaging,* new sensor 
in 2009 (replaced due to a cleaning scratch), 100% trouble-free.  

*I am still looking for the car adapter plug for the battery charger, so it 
may follow separately (I'm sure I didn't throw it away, but I am not going 
to kill myself looking for a fairly useless accessory!)

$1849 plus post (for the factory stuff) 

- OR -

$1999 for the above plus *all* of the 7 items below (the turnkey package):

1.      Luigi half case (black; non-detachable flap)
2.      8 aftermarket batteries (charged not more than 3 times per)
3.      Kirk Arca Swiss tripod QR plate
4.      Delkin Dual Universal charger plates for M8/M9 (I'm keeping the 
charger) 
5.      Sandisk Ultra II 2gb SD card (if you don't have SD cards already - 
and you must ask)

        (all of the above will work with an M9, MM or ME should you ever 
upgrade)

6.      Two UV/IR filters of your choice (40.5, 46 (2), 62) - Leica or B+W 
(as available)
7.      46mm IR Pass (720NM) filter

Accessories are not for separate sale unless and until the body sells.

Pictures are on rangefinderforum if you want to see everything. You can find 
me on Ebay under Cadillac1701.

Regards,
Dante
