Sold

Item condition: 8+ Shows moderate wear or finish marks

Selling a first generation Leica M Monochrom. I recently purchased from Ken Hansen, but decided to buy an M10 and this needs to go.

The M Monochrom is in beautiful condition with very light brassing around the edges that shows as gray/silver where the black chrome has worn. According to Ken, the sensor was replaced by Leica along with a full CLA this past March (March 2017) and the camera shows a total of 4034 clicks on the shutter. The sensor is gorgeous and everything works perfectly the way it should. This is a great example of a CCD Monochrom that has the upgraded sensor coverglass so you won't need to worry going forward about sensor issues.

*28mm f/2 lens is for display only and is NOT included in the sale

I do not have the box or materials, but the camera will come with the original (very brassed) base plate and a near new grip/baseplate (genuine Leica, still has plastic on bottom), thumbs-up, three batteries and the original charger.

I'm looking for a quick sale, shipping and PayPal fees included.

I've been selling on eBay for over a dozen years as Lawman1967 and have bought many high-value items here on FM, including my current Leica M-D camera and this very Nikon Df (before the focusing screen mod).

 Item updated in the last 24 hours Item price reduced in the last 24 hours   Nikon Df plus 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition Camera Kit, Manual Focus Optimized

Sold


Price: $1,400.00
Payment method: PayPal
Item condition: 9 Shows signs of use, but very clean
Shipping instructions: Ships CONUS only


Nikon Df with 50mm f/1.8 AF-G "Special Edition" camera and lens kit in beautiful condition. Camera has been optimized for manual focus and the lens is unused.

Modifications include fitment of Nikon DK-17M 1.2X eyepiece magnifier (entire viewfinder visible) with Nikon DK-19 rubber eyecup, and a replacement focusing screen with split-image and microprism collar.

The focusing screen is a modified K3 type (from Nikon FM3a camera) purchased from focusingscreen.com and installed by Kurt's Camera Repair in San Diego, CA (an authorized Nikon service center). The screen is gorgeous and makes manual focus a breeze, even with challenging lenses like the 50mm f/1.2 AIS that I'm also selling.

Camera is currently configured so that when a non-CPU lens is attached there are no focus points visible in the viewfinder, but when an AF/CPU lens is fitted the center focusing point becomes visible. Visible or not, the center focusing point is active (all of them work, depending on settings in the menus) and the electronic rangefinder at the bottom of the viewfinder works with all lenses. The focus of the camera was also calibrated by Kurt's for the new screen and is dead-on, even at f/1.2, with both the optical (screen) and electronic rangefinders.

The camera also has the Nikon soft shutter release attached and comes with all original accessories in the box along with the charger and an extra genuine Nikon battery.

The camera is about two-years-old, and is fantaastic condition with only a few marks around the bottom plate.

If you want to use a DSLR to manually focus Nikon lenses this is as good as it gets.

I bought this lens new two-years-ago and have used it sparingly. It is Nikon's fastest lens and is an absolute delight to shoot either using LIVEVIEW on your DSLR or with a traditional manual focusing screen such as on any MF Nikon film body or on the Df camera listed above. I'll give $100 off the price of this lens if purchased with the Df camera and can assure you that they make an OUTSTANDING pair.

What's the shutter count on the Df. How does one focus with a a non cpu or non AI lens. Thanks very much.

I don't know how to check shutter count on the Df, but my guess is under between 3,000 and 6,000. There is no focusing issue at all with non-CPU lenses. If the focal length is input manually in the non-CPU lens menu (I have a function button pre-configured to pull it up) you can switch between up to 9 stored lens profiles. Focus is manual, but the digital rangefinder at the bottom of the viewfinder works, and of course the custom-fitted focusing screen means that this Df focuses exactly the same way as an old film SLR, with a split image circle in the center, surrounded by a microprism collar and the entire focusing screen is ground glass.

Manual focus, particularly with fast lenses is vastly improved over any other DSLR.
