Leica R Duclos-Cinevised 6 Lens Set in Canon EF mount

5/18 Update: Another price drop and upgraded the 60mm macro, see latest post

Freshly cinevised by Duclos, set of high quality Summicron and Elmarit Primes with Dragon/Weapon coverage. Leica Rs make gorgeous imagery – beautiful highlight rolloff, Leica colors and bokeh. These are spectacular copies and some of the best price/performance options for cinework, all were just fully cinevised in EF by Duclos, and selling for a small fraction of the cost of a Summicron-C set.

Most from the late 80s and close matching SN#s for consistent colors. Each were hand-picked and QC tested for cineuse among many copies and are in superb condition.

19 2.8 #32...

Is the 19mm V1 or V2?

Best Regards,
Nate Balli

 

[Mark M]

Hi Nate – the 19 is gorgeous late V1, but a V2 will be ready soon that could be swapped in for +1500

35 50 60 are V2s (last versions) 90 is V3 and there's only 1 version of the 24

Would you sell the 35 separately?

 

[Mark M]

Would you sell the 35 separately?

I've received a few offers on individuals but as of now would like to keep this matched set together. It took a few months to assemble great copies of this 20+ year old glass especially since it includes rare late Minty versions produced over the same period (ie all 3 Summicrons are SN#34.. & gorgeous)
But I also have several individual cinevised Leica Rs in great shape, which I can sell separately including a 35 Summicron. PM me for details.

And as an added incentive I've just knocked $300 off the price of this set and will throw in FREE CONUS shipping.

Mark, I'm no glass expert, are the modern Summicron-Cs basically a reworked version of these primes with the same glass?

Mark, I'm no glass expert, are the modern Summicron-Cs basically a reworked version of these primes with the same glass?

The modern Summicron Cs were designed with newer optical formulas.

From my understanding the primary optical difference is extreme corner/edge sharpness, but both sets have ample doses of Leica's magical pixie dust

 

[Mark M]

Bump for an awesome set of Leica R cinevised glass with room to grow (or tweak).

Also have matching 28, 135, 180 and 250 options, or can swap in a 50 and/or 80 Summilux.

All are cherry picked extremely high quality late Leica R glass from the 80s with recent complete Duclos cine-mod + EF mount conversions.

 

[Mark M]

I'm surprised this set is still available. Ready to go and in amazing condition especially for 20+ year old lenses.

Two updates:

1. 60mm Macro has been upgraded from a 1981 #31... to a late 1990 #35... in phenomenal condition.

2. $300 off – now $9200 shipped!

PM to acquire this pristine set...

Hello Mark,
Your set may interest me. To tell you, I hesitate between a set of Zeiss Contax and Leica set ... (future feature film) but I depend on a limited budget.
I must make a decision within a week.
(FYI I am located in Europe / France ... my problem is with the French customs and tax of 20% ... it's huge)
Would you be willing to sell the set for $ 8,500?
I'm curious ... Why are you selling this set?
In advance thank you ...
Best,
Christophe
FYI, I sell a superb set of Canon L series, PL ... http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?131834-CANON-L-PL-SET-!!&highlight=CANON

 

[Mark M]

After receiving several offers for 1-3 lenses in this set, I finally caved and broke it up about a week ago. All that remains from it are the 50 and 60 macro but have several others available too.

Will post the list soon...

 

[Jake Roper]

Ah, so the full set is no longer available?

 

[Brad Hawkins]

How much are you asking for 60mm?

 

[Mark M]

Ah, so the full set is no longer available?

That's right, its 2/3rds sold. If you're seriously interested though (you should have bought it 2 weeks ago! jk PM me as I have enough others ready now for a very similar set.

How much are you asking for 60mm?
