Hi All,
I have bought too much Leica gear recently when I switched to the R8/DMR and need to sell off some of my redundant gear so I can pay my property taxes! I need to sell this stuff but I also am looking for other Leica R glass, particularly the 80 summilux so its possible I will make a trade.
Here's what I currently am offering:
Canon 50mm f/1.4 nearly mint. Comes with pouch, front and rear caps but no box. Date Code or serial is 5900589F. Purchased new in 2003. Asking $240 plus shipping and I will split paypal if used.
Canon 100mm USM f/2.8 macro. Comes with front and rear caps but no box. I had lent this to my father when I bought the TS-E 90mm and recently got it back. Condition is Good and operates well - Has excellent glass but some marks on the barrel and flter ring. Works great though. Asking $340 plus shipping and I will split paypal fees.
Leica 60 mm Macro Elmarit f/2.8 with Macro Extender and rear double coupler, 2 hoods and front cap. Condition is excellent, glass is perfect. This was purchased from this forum in the summer but since I now have the 100mm macro I don't need it. Serial is 288xxxx Asking $650 plus shipping and I will split paypal fees.
Leica 180 APO 3.4 Telyt lens purchased from FM'r Robert Holme. I tested this lens and its actually sharper than my 100 macro at infinety. Comes with front and rear caps and the built in hood. No ROM - serial #274xxxx Glass is excellent and focus is smooth and aperture snaps crisply and this lens looks pretty good considering its age with some paint wear on the focus and aperture rings but overall pretty nice. The barrel has a small amount of play in it but not a problem in use. Asking $500 plus shipping and I will split paypal fees.
Contax Zeiss Vario Sonar 35-70 T* F/3.4 lens. This lens comes with original box, papers, soft case, front and rear caps and Contax to EOS adapter. Condition is excellent. Glass is perfect. Note: This lens has been modified to work with the Canon 5D I also have a focus confirmation adapter for Canon EOS available for an additional charge. Looking for $460 with the EOS adapter without focus confirmation. If you want the lens with the focus confirmation adapter, I'd like $520 since it cost me $80 by itself.
I also have a Canon 24-70 L in excellent condition and a Canon 100-400 L IS lens that I am thinking of selling but haven't made up my mind 100% - make me an offer if you are interested. My 100-400 is is very sharp - not sure if they all are but I was surprised how sharp it is. If you want to use this lens with the 5D, I have found out that it works best with the battery grip and two batteries are installed - might be just ballance but maybe the IS takes power?
I almost forgot to mention that I have an Epson 4000 with a couple partial 17" rolls of fine art paper that need to clear out to make room for my 3800 which should be arriving soon. I'm looking for $740 - local pickup only.
Photos of all the lenses will be coming ASAP. If you live near SF you are welcome to personally inspect the items. I will be able to repsond faster to e-mails

Eric Hiss
