Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)
Hello everyone. I was the buyer of these fantastic lenses. I too, have come into a situation where I must (sadly) part with this incredible set of glass.
You can read the whole history of the lenses here in this thread and see the photos. They were very lightly used and cherished. At the time I bought them in 2011 Matt Duclos inspected them.
Asking price is $55,000 for the set. Since the glass is hand-picked and hand-matched, I won't be splitting it up. PM me if interested. TY!
A very rare set of 8 lenses from Leica, housed by Van Diemen, and recently serviced.
I purchased these from a very reputable and amazing seller early this year, and unfortunately find myself in a position where I have to sell them.
I've had a reasonable cash offer sitting on my desk for awhile, and the buyer elected to purchase the very expensive new leica summilux-c glass instead.
Partially because I was dragging my feet, and not at all because of the quality or condition of this glass.
The foot dragging cannot continue.
The lenses:
are roughly same size and weight as super speeds.
cover full frame
have 80mm fronts
are in excellent + condition, housed in separate cases (4 in one case, others in their own separate cases)
were all hand picked from the Leitz factory
are one set of six that was made for VFG, to very exacting specifications
Offers and serious buyers only please. I don't mean to sound prickly, but I'm a fulltime parent and don't have a great deal of time to spare.
This is a very rare opportunity to pick up a set of full frame glass prior to the wide release of Epic X and the later release of FF Epic, for less than half of the cost of the summilux series.

Thanks
EDIT: two of the pics are sideways and can't seem to be corrected easily
