| Leica Wetzlar Summicron-R 35 2 with coating damage | Available
Price: $580.00 Payment method: PayPal Item condition: 6 Useable, but has considerable optical or mechanical imperfections Shipping instructions: USPS Priority
This copy of the Cron-R 35 is very clean except for
1) Superficial coating damage on the front element
2) Dent on the hood and filter thread. The thread doesn't mount filters anymore, and the hood still slides in and out, but with more resistance and requiring some fiddling. The "advantage" is that if you turn the hood to the right position, it basically becomes a fixed hood due to sheer resistance. I leave it like that for protection.
3) The retaining ring that prevents the hood to slide inwards behind the front collar is loose and can jingle if you shake the lens, depending on where the hood is positioned. I believe it should simply be removed because it serves no purpose now.
Otherwise the lens is in excellent condition. Aperture and focus rings are very smooth and quiet. No optical issues other than slight internal dust. Aperture blades are oil-free.
There is no decentering. On my Novoflex Leica R adapter and A7, infinity is accurate and consistent with my other R lenses.
I bought this lens from a longtime FM user last month, thinking I was going to downsize (already have a Summilux-R 35). But I still prefer the Lux and find that I'd bring that out instead of carrying both.

| Leica R Vario-Elmar 35-70mm Macro f/4 ROM in Excellent Condition |
Withdrawn
Price: $980.00 Payment method: PayPal Item condition: 9 Shows signs of use, but very clean Shipping instructions: USPS Priority
Not to be confused with the inferior 35-70mm f/3.5 non-Macro lens designed by Minolta. This is a Leica design.
This copy is in superb condition. No problems optically or mechanically. No blemish, no fungus, no separation. There is very little internal dust. I see only a few specks.
Zoom, aperture, and focus actions are all smooth and quiet. No oil on blades.
It comes with original screw-on hood and a front cap that goes on the hood.
Cosmetically it is excellent. There detachable screw-on hood has a tiny bend (see last photo) and a few pinpoint paint loss on the inner edge. The lens body has one small hairline scratch over the "40." There's some dust deposit in the grooves of the rubber rings. Otherwise no notable cosmetic issues.
Price is Paypal gift or +3%, including shipping within Cont USA. |
