Leica R Lenses for Less: 19mm – 250mm
These were originally purchased for sets (or out of curiosity) within the last 1-2 years and have been used very little since.
Most are not cinevised in their original Leica R mount, whereas the 250mm is Duclos modded in Canon EF.
When acquiring these most were cited 1-2 grades higher than my assessments below, and offering to Redusers below cost to give back, clear space and put em to work!
Full 6k+ coverage. My current understanding is many (most?) will cover 8k vista, but TBD. And of course great at 4 & 5k too.
Conditions range from Bargain to Near Mint
------------------------
16mm f2.8 Fisheye #30... Near Mint
Rare last batch in production 1980 coatings
$900 – Just added
19mm f2 Elmarit v1 #286... Ugly
Many scratches on both front and rear element, body shows moderate wear.
Renders sharp details but with a blown-out look especially backlit subjects (think Leica glow x10). While I can't recommend this lens for everyday use, renders a great look for dream sequences, flash-backs, etc).
SOLD
24mm f2.8 Elmarit #307... Excellent–
In nice condition except I found two scratches inside the elements but still performs quite well.
SOLD
35mm f2 Summicron #282... Bargain
Optically nice with a couple small marks on the front optical coating. Focus is tight and uneven. Body shows fair amount of wear.
$550 – Reduced
35mm f2 Summicron #347... Very Good
Rare late 1988 sample, 8/10 with tiny nick (pin-head sized) on front coating, flawless rear coating. Mechanically perfect, buttery smooth/consistent focus throw.
$850 – Reduced
50mm f1.4 Summilux v1 #247... Excellent–
Great/fast vintage '70s v1. Glass in excellent shape, body shows mild wear but no damage. Smooth focus.
$750 – Reduced
50mm f2 Summicron v1 #216... Bargain
Vintage 1966 sample that performs well but has haze along the outer edges in the optics, common on vintage 60s glass. Comes with detachable hood, caps and a bargain price.
$250 – Reduced
50mm f2 Summicron v2 #311... Very Good+
Optics have moderate dust build-up typical of age, body shows light wear, focus is smooth
$360 – Reduced
60mm f2.8 Macro Elmarit v2 #31... Very Good+
Some dust build up typical of age and faint cleaning marks on the rear optic, no blemishes on front optic. Smooth focus action. Comes with original box.
$425 – Reduced
60mm f2.8 Macro Elmarit v2 #33... Excellent–
Faint cleaning marks on the rear optic (should have no effect).
$550
60mm f2.8 Macro Elmarit v2 #35... Excellent
Late 1990 sample with excellent optics and smooth focus. Light microdust build-up.
$650
90mm f2 Summicron #26... Very Good
Glass is in nice shape except for a tiny dot near the outer edge. Body shows considerable wear but focus is still smooth.
SOLD
135mm f2.8 Emarit #31... Excellent-
Pristine body, but small scratch on rear element and tiny click sound when changing focus directions
$330 – Reduced
135mm f2.8 Elmarit #34... Very Good
Nice late copy except there is some separation on the front element (quite common with these 135s) but is outside of frame and has no effect.
SOLD
180mm f2.8 Elmarit v2 #29... Near Mint
This one's great all-around.
$700
180mm f3.4 APO Telyt Elmarit #36... Excellent–
Extremely late/rate copy of this fabulous APO lens. Only issue is some dust build up (haziness) along the outer edge of the glass visible below the front optic, but can be cleaned.
Servicing
250mm f4 Elmar v2 #305... Excellent
In great shape overall. Only minor flaws I can find are 1/4" ding on the barrel so small I didn't notice it for months that has no effect on anything and one speck of dust inside rear element (common).
Tested and found it to be a surprisingly sharp sample.
