[FS: OPTICS] LEICA R 70-180 APO ROM – Late copy of the Legendary Leica Zoom

[Mark M]

Leica R 70-180mm F2.8 APO ROM Zoom

A late copy of the Legendary Leica zoom with full Dragon/Weapon coverage.
Only about 2,000 of these were ever made and this was among the last few hundred produced, in 1999.

The overall condition is Excellent. Cosmetically its nearly perfect with only a couple marks in the paint. Optically its in great working order and clean. The only usage signs of note on the glass are two marks in the coating of the front optic (see photo) but I tested it against a Mint copy and was splitting hairs to find differences. To be sure I sent it to Steve's Camera for inspection/further testing 2 weeks ago. They reported no work was necessary and the marks had no influence on image quality (I can provide a PDF of their assessment). Mechanically the lens is in great shape with a smooth focus with absolutely no play.

The only others I can find for sale are over $7,000.

Duuuuuude!

Looks like a nice clean copy. If I didn't have two already, I'd be interested

Duclos has a great re-house for this lens as well.

Buy with confidence. It's hard to find nice copies of this lens.

A few really want it but say they need to complete a sale first to raise the funds. To get it into someone's hands sooner, I'm reducing to $5500 net.

Check, bank transfer or paypal accepted (PP +3%). Shipping at cost.
