The extender shows very little signs of use and works perfectly. Will not work on Leicaflex, Leicaflex SL or Leicaflex SL2 bodies. $600 plus shipping OBO FS: Leitz 60mm Macro-Elmarit-R, E60 / Series VIII filter size with caps #28526xx. This is a 3-cam lens with significant finish wear. Aperture is clean and works smoothly, focus is smooth, glass has some dust but is free of scratches, fungus or other such problems. $350 plus shipping OBO FS: R8/DMR used primarily as backup equipment. I am very reluctant to sell this but in order to allow my hand injuries to heal I need to either use lighter weight equipment, or not pick up the camera. Not picking up a camera doesn't appeal to me, and I must raise cash to purchase lighter weight equipment. This is USER equipment, not pristine collector's stuff. DMR works well, includes charger with US 110v plug, 2 battery packs rebuilt by Michael Bass, box, and universal focussing screen with DMR crop marks. Also includes a mostly-functional R8. This camera has a nick on one shutter blade which does not enter the DMR's sensor space, and a bad spot meter. Since the spot meter is integrated into the other metering modes all metering modes are affected, but I have found that with exposure compensation turned down to -2.5 and in full-field metering mode exposures are accurate with manual metering if the exposure is set to underexpose 1 stop according to the meter. Auto-exposure modes will not yield correct exposure. Essentially since this is a costly repair the R8 is included with the DMR for free. $2000 plus shipping OBO.
