Incredible offer, and with the Dollar that low against the Euro, this is a steal for people in the Euro countries.

Wow. Would love to get my hands on the 2/90 and the rigid 50 cron, but as usual, no money. I will continue dreaming Smile

Our Euro members should take this opportunity.


Good luck.

Well, maybe a "collaborative buy" could be interesting, if two or more members are not interested in the same items in the set ...

I'll keep my hands off it. It is quite a risky deal - the stuff is too dirty to assert its state from these pictures, and there obviously is strong corrosion damage on the camera bottom. It is quite likely that everything is corroded or mouldy.

This package if mint is worth the $2000. As it sits it is mostly a lot of potential.........Potential risk as well as potential reward. Mostly potential high CLA invoice Wink

Even if mint I don't think so good deal to take it a lot cheaper Pentax 645 set provide lot better image quality and I like lot more to use than old Leica RF.

I don't see any corrosion on the bottom of the camera, but the rest of a decaying adhesive tape.
Maybe Attila is correct with his remark on the picture quality of a Leica 39mm system as compared to a Pentax 645, but there are people, who have always dreamt of having a Leica M3 ( and all these lenses), and when they pay in Euros, as I already said, this is a steal.

I have my doubts about the green on the label - that might be corroded copper or print-through from the former inscription or those on the heavily pencilled case. Either is a indication that the camera might have been subject to more damp than advisable at some time in the past.

Seems like the ad is gone now, did some one here snag it? That reflex viewer system was pretty crazy! Kinda defeats the spirit of a rangefinder... but was cool nonetheless.
