Leica Gear (SL + Lenses)

[Justin Bacle 188]

Hello everyone, 

I am selling here this gear for a good friend of mine, who knows nothing about photography. I am sure this lens set will be quite exciting to some of you.

Cameras : 
Leicaflex SL (the shutter speed selection gear is beaten up but still works). I'll have to change the battery to check if the light cell is working as I don't use it personally.

Lenses :
Leitz Wetzlar Elmarit-R 35mm f/2.8 (perfect condition, with both caps and hood)
Leitz Wetzlar Summicron-R 50mm f/2 (perfect condition, with caps and hood)
Leitz Wetzlar Elmarit-R 90mm f/2.8 (perfect condition, with both caps)

Extras : 
Leitz polarising filter (13 358 D)
Leitz close-up filter (ELPRO VIIa 16 533)
Genaco Paris 1d Bonette portrait 36 (looks like another close up filter)
Cable shutter release

I estimated the set to be worth €1200 but I don't have much confidence in my estimation. Anyway, this set is for sale, and the pricing can be discussed

[Justin Bacle 188]

Is my asking price too high, or is it just not interesting gear ?

[Justin Bacle 188]

Still for sale ! I think it would be a great leica kit for rehousing

[Justin Bacle 188]

I am lowering the price down to 1000€ (due to recent sales on ebay of this lenses being around 330€ each)
And I am throwing a Leica-M to EOS adapter with the set (so that you can try them out as soon as you receive them !)

FYI, Duclos Lenses can cine-mod these lenses for $250/lens + Modify them to be native EF Mount for $159/lens

Here are the serial numbers. I just learned the importance of the serial number for leica gear, so here is a matched set !

Leicaflex SL : 1239233 (1969-1970)
Summicron-R 50/2 : 2381656 (1969)
Elmarit-R 90/2.8 : 2443331 (1970)
Elmarit-R 35/2.8 : 2620164 (1973)

Still for sale BTW. I think I may put everything on ebay. But I  prefer a direct sale

your estimation is correct. you'd better separate them, more easy than to sell them as a lot

Man I had wet dreams about owning one of those when they were new LoL..  They were Expensive as all get out new!

I wouldn't worry about it. No-one ever seems to buy anything on here anyhow, we just seem to advertise stuff and talk about it 

Good luck selling it (probably elsewhere!)

Lovely collection!

I know, I'd have more chances to sell it on ebay, but I'll prefer if its helps someone in the community  I'll put it on ebay at some point, but i'd prefer not to.

Hi Justin, hope all is well.

How much are you asking for the Summicron-R 50?

I own the same lens and absolutely love it but the front element (onto which I screw on my Redstan clamp) is unstable and sort of clicks thus regularly misaligning my anamorphic set-up if I don't pay close attention. Needless to say it's very annoying.

Does your 50mm have the same issue or is the front element hold tight?

Cheers.

I'll have to check that when I get back home (i'm on family vacation now).
But one thing is sure, is that I would like to sell the complete set so that I don't have to bother with multiple sales and a Leicaflex camera with no lenses to go with :D

Cool, thanks.

Yeah I understand, unfortunately I'm not interested in purchasing or rather I can't afford the whole set :|

Enjoy the holidays man.
