Hey Cory -
Apologies! I somehow missed this message before (RU didn't send an update).
Photos of the set here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zavllubiq...bKBxnxCAa?dl=0
I am looking for $15k for them at least I think.
Info on the Leica R's here... They were acquired personally over the course of a couple of years almost a decade ago. All were in great condition when purchased (was generally before the cinema hype w/ these so just photo use - they were all R mount when purchased and I converted all to EF). Since then not been heavily used on cinema productions. Light rental here and there and what not but honestly possibly under 100-150 shoots and probably mostly were ones where they were being hand focused (so focus mechanics not jacked from motors). They have all been CLA'd at least once by Duclos and only serviced by Duclos whenever any issues popped up (the 50mm needed a bigger service at one point, but was done by Duclos and is great now, included CLA during that as well). I believe once one went to DuAll in NYC as well possibly instead of Duclos but not for any major issues.
Serials are here - years based on - https://www.kenrockwell.com/leica/le...al-numbers.htm
Leica R 19mmm f2.8 v2 - 3564422 - 1991
Leica R 35mm f1.4 - 3693469 - 1995
Leica R 50mm f1.4 - 3798149 - 1997
Leica R 60mm f2.8 macro - 3255798 - 1983
Leica R 90mm f2 - 3031764 - 1980
Leica R 100mm f2.8 macro - 3594167 - 1992
Two of the lenses have slight back focus issues probably from the adapters needing to be shimmed (35 and 100 I believe) - Duclos can do this and collimation for not very much - but otherwise very good mechanically. The 60mm is actually converted to Nikon mount w/ a Nikon to EF adapter that has lived on it - this was my first one so I did it a slightly different way.
Here's a screenshot of the pricing breakdown I found based on looking at recent eBay sales - https://capture.dropbox.com/VbC5lGPW8hpbY8er
The 100 seems to have some lens fungus (I forgot about this) - but as far as I can tell (have been using it to DSLR scan film) very much does not affect image quality - rest of lenses are very clean. Some internal dust that probably another CLA will take care of.
Let me know how you're feeling or if you have any thoughts.
