Leica R Primes for sale

[paul engstrom]

Selling Leica R prime lenses:

Arghh!! I put a lot of effort and time into securing these outstanding lenses; they are jewels. But I've changed my business plan quite a bit since I pursued these and it just doesn't make sense for me to hold onto these at this time. I've debated selling these before but then changed my mind. Going through with it now for sure. So I hope someone that respects incredible design and outstanding glass purchases these from me.

They are all unmodified and would make good candidates for the sleeves that Brian is talking about here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?96624-Leica-R-Sleeves.

This would result in one of the lowest cost ways to have a prime set with full frame coverage, large focus throws (in the right direction no less!!) and a fast 2.8 stop all the way out to the wide end of things. I began by purchasing the most hard to come by lenses first (the essential wide ones) and I stopped my quest before purchasing a 90mm lens... So there is no 80 or 90 for sale .

R 24 f2.8 Elmarit 3153238 -- $600 -- An excellent sample of this underrated gem; not of the same level (or price) as the 19 and 28, but at a desirable 24mm length...
R 35 f2.8 Elmarit 290629 -- $550 -- Practically perfect example of the later version lens. Wow is this one in nice shape.
R 50 f2 Summicron 2822408 -- $600 -- Later version of this lens. A good sample of a great lens. Love the built in hoods on some these lenses!

R 19 V2 f2.8 Elmarit -- SOLD*
R 28 V2 f2.8 Elmarit 3664917 -- SOLD **

I will ship them in North America for free

I've attached pictures of the 24 - it has a removable hood that I forgot to photograph. Great lens! This little lens is missing its little plastic red dot on the side. The dot is purchaseable for a few dollars from the guy that sells Leitax converters.

The 28. This is the rare and much more desirable later version of the lens. The hood is "attached". I put that in quotes because it can removed with some screws so that it works with Duclos fronts or Brian's sleeves (assuming he goes ahead and mills a bunch of them). Great, great lens.

The 35. Just an Elmarit, so f2.8 rather than f2. This lens is in absolutely mint condition. I paid too much for it. Comes with a nice little case. Very lovely lens.

I haven't had a chance to put up pics yet. However, the 19 has been SOLD

 

[paul engstrom]

Here's the 50. An f2 Summicron. Nice lens. Solid version. When you're declicking the lens it would be good to add a little lubrication to the barrel. Its a little drier feeling than the other lenses (which are super, buttery smooth). Not a problem, but want no surprises for the buyer. The 3rd picture shows the hood extended. If you haven't held one of these 35mm or 50mm lenses, the retractable hood is really sweet -- its aluminum, low profile and simple recesses back into the barrel. The 1st, 4th and 5th pictures show the hood recessed.

Paul! Seems like a lifetime ago we were running around the world together on that one crazy show. I think I may need your 24mm for a little setup I'm sorting out. PM me or email me and let's catch up and maybe make a deal.
