LEICA
Leica R 80mm f1.4 (Summilux) - $850 shipped - SALE PENDING
Serial number: 3201843
Items included: front and rear caps, built-in lens hood
This is Leitz lens is the 3-cam version, made in Germany, with the built-in lens good and 67mm filter size. This copy shows moderate signs of use (brassing on the focus ring and aperture ring, and some slight dents in the built-in hood.
This is a "user copy", not a collector copy. It's not a "beater", but there are several edges where the black paint has worn. The glass is in excellent condition with no issues. Aperture ring has firm clicks, and no other issues.
I picked up this R 80 Lux as part of a larger package deal. It has the buttery smooth Leica look, with the soft glow wide open, and then razor sharp by about f2.8. It's a wonderful portrait lens.
I can include a high quality R-to-EOS adapter for $75 if the buyer wants it.
I've added photos of the lens down at the bottom of this post
NIKON
I bought this lens, and the special EOS "G" adapter, to use as an ultra-wide setup on my Canon bodies. The lens is fantastic, but I don't shoot this wide often enough to justify it. For my needs (usually 21mm - 35mm for landscape), I have plenty of coverage with other lenses.
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 G ED - $1400 shipped - SOLD
Serial number: US 204520
Items included: original box, all original accessories and documents, blank warranty card.
The lens is about 3 months old, and in mint condition. It's only been used a handful of times. I've tested the lens with adapter on my 5D, and it's just as advertized.
I've already sold the adapter separately.
OLYMPUS
I've been using an Olympus E-420 as my travel camera for a few weeks now, and I'm very happy with the system. It makes a great lightweight, compact system that compliments my larger Canon system.
I bought a few lenses to get a sense of what I'll use, and I've decided to stick with the Leica D 14-150 lens as my main walk-around. Therefore, I'm selling these two Olympus Zuiko lenses.
Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 SWD - $750 shipped - SOLD
Serial number: 230005823
Items included: original box with all original accessories and documentation (including black warranty card).
This lens is in mint condition with no functional or cosmetic issues. It's a sharp lens (as all copies of this lens seem to be), and works perfectly.
Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 - $340 shipped - SOLD
Serial number: 256024438
Items included: original box with all original contents including blank warranty card and retail receipt
I purchased this lens new from B&H in March/08. I used it twice, and it has sat in my lens cabinet since then. It's in mint condition with no issues - cosmetic or functional. Everything is as new.
This is a great lens, and gives an amazing 140-600mm focal range on the 2x Four-Thirds bodies. But my E-420 does not have in-body stabilization, and this lens really needs a body with stabilization, or a tripod, to use a the long end. It simply isn't a good travel lens for me for this reason.
ZEISS
I bought this special Conurus converted Zeiss lens to try it out as a walk-around. Image quality is fantastic, but the speed of the lens (aperture and focus speed) are a little slower than the Canon 24-70. I can't afford to keep both, so I'm keeping the Canon.
Contax Vario-Sonnar 24-85 f3.5-4.5 - Conurus converted to EOS mount - $1,050 shipped marker]] - SOLD
Serial number: 12704148
Items included: front and rear caps
The lens works great, and is in mint condition. Image quality is excellent - similar to my Zeiss 35-70. The Conurus conversion is of very high quality, and provides accurate EXIF information.
