FS: Last call: gorgeous Leica R50 f/2 E55 Summicron
Item 1: Leica 50mm f/2 R Summicron 3 cam E55
I have a lovely 3 cam 50/2 (built in hood) with original front cap and what I believe to be the original rear cap (not stamped Leica but my 100 APO has the same cap.) It is in stellar condition with no scratches or cleaning marks. All mechanics function normally, silky smooth focus.
There is one larger than 'normal' internal dust spec. I would estimate it being 1/2mm. I have never had an issue with it impacting images, and I have shot with it, including film, which is far less forgiving than digital.
Several photos of the lens and images from it are on my Flickr page linked below.
These don't come up often. Act now before I come to my senses.
$425, shipped and Paypal-ed (gift option or add 3%) CONUS
-------------------------------- Item 2: Leica R6 film body
Gorgeous Leica R film body, wonderful with the 50/2 lens above (hint). Great action from shutter. I have shot both color and BW film with the camera and have loved the results from both. Ergonomics are excellent and balance - even with the heavy 100 APO attached - is made to fit your hand perfectly.
Comes with body cap and third party wrist strap. I will also include a CD or e-mail with the PDF of the manual and a book on the Leica R6 body (Amazon link to the same book below).
Gorgeous copy of the legendary Nikon 35. This was the de rigeur photojournalist and artist lens from Nikon. Every six months or so I consider parting with it and then decide to hang onto it. I favor longer focal lengths for what I typically shoot, but literally every time I put this on my camera, magic happens. It has a lovely bokeh and is fantastically sharp (you can count the fine hairs on the head of a 3 month old baby at 15 feet away).
This is such a well-rounded lens that they still sell brand new from B&H for over $1000, even though newer autofocus versions exist.
Lens itself is near mint and has glass is pristine. Comes with front and rear caps, metal HN-3 hood (also mint) and an additional cap that fits the hood.

Gorgeous Leica R film body, wonderful with the 50/2 lens above (hint). Great action from shutter. I have shot both color and BW film with the camera and have loved the results from both. Ergonomics are excellent and balance - even with the heavy 100 APO attached - is made to fit your hand perfectly.
Comes with body cap and third party wrist strap. I will also include a CD or e-mail with the PDF of the manual and a book on the Leica R6 body (Amazon link to the same book below).
Gorgeous copy of the legendary Nikon 35. This was the de rigeur photojournalist and artist lens from Nikon. Every six months or so I consider parting with it and then decide to hang onto it. I favor longer focal lengths for what I typically shoot, but literally every time I put this on my camera, magic happens. It has a lovely bokeh and is fantastically sharp (you can count the fine hairs on the head of a 3 month old baby at 15 feet away).
This is such a well-rounded lens that they still sell brand new from B&H for over $1000, even though newer autofocus versions exist.
Lens itself is near mint and has glass is pristine. Comes with front and rear caps, metal HN-3 hood (also mint) and an additional cap that fits the hood.
