Because of my latest acquisition, I need to find ways to get some money.

Thus, I sell me beloved

Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/35 (Leicaflex-Version)

in a very good condition.



The body shows minor signs of use, but absolutely nothing serious.
The lenses are clean apart from some very small and hardly visible specks of dust. Nothing that would influence the lens performance in any way.
The mechanics are great, diaphragm clicks in great and focus is velvety smooth. It's a joy to use this lens.

With a LeicaR-EOS-adapter this lens can also be used on fullframe cams, such as the 5D.

This is an example shot (ISO 640) wide open at f/2.8 (!!) that I have just taken with the EOS 5D some minutes ago.

Two of my university students and assistants to me (I have their allowance!).
And here a crop of the area that I have focussed on:

Dim light, ISO 640, AWB, no post-production!!

I would like to have €150,- (plus shipping & PayPal) but I am also open for sensible suggestions.

Of course, I will ship world wide. Please ask for shipping costs. And add PayPal fees if you plan to use PayPal.

Wonderful lens, even though I never liked any 35mm. How much would shipping to Argentina?

Shipping to Argentina is not cheap. It will be €39,- or US$ 56,- insured and tracked.
I would not risk any other form of shipping for such a valuable lens, really.

What about using registered airmail letterpost? 14,05 Euro up tp 1 kg. Not insured, but pretty fast and safe.

Thanks for the suggestion, Klaus.
But this is the problem:

If the buyer is fine with this, OK. But I have a bad feeling to send a 150€-lens without insurance to another continent...

let me see if I fix my cousin who lives in Spain to receive the lens.

I already got a definite "I'll buy it" this morning from a member of this forum.
Since I handle it like "first come, first served", the lens seems to be sold.

But I still need to get the money.

So, francotirador, you are second in the list.
If I do not get the money from the other buyer, the lens will be yours if you're still interested, OK?

Sorry about that!

Do not worry, a good sniper knows how to wait.
