Leica R Vintage & Modern Duclos Lens Sets (12/16) – Summicrons etc. – starting > $6k
Hi Fellow Redusers,
As many probably know by now a full-time hobby of mine over the last few years has been building Leica R Duclos sets. This began after spending a very very long year going through countless lenses until finally arriving at a set I was happy with. While the look blew me away, I thought "there has to be a better way..." So using what I learned I built a 2nd set to rent, then a 3rd, then a friend asked to build him one, and then the rest was history... The primary goal here is saving others many long weeks/months to deliver ready-to-use sets with vetted glass and any issues ironed out for a similar price as building everything from scratch.
Recently have received several requests for 'starter sets' with 4-5 lenses so have listed two below at great prices, cherry-picked, tested, Duclos cinevised and some received additional servicing too. Both starter sets can be added onto with the options below (email me for a custom quote). All cover Red 4k up to 8k vv.
So without further adieu here are 2 starter sets comprised of pristine glass with great focus action that are vetted and ready to go:
This first one is an early 1980s ('80-'81) set that renders gorgeous vintage Leica character and a great way for achieving a cinematic/filmic look on Red sensors. The overall look is warm and organic.
EARLY 1980s DUCLOS SUMMICRON SET
24mm F2.8 #30... 1980
35mm F2.0 #30... 1980
50mm F2.0 #30... 1980
90mm F2.0 #31... 1981
$5250
Options: Add 19mm, 28mm, 135mm or 180mm F2.8 Elmarits
_____________________________________
This next one is a much later 1990s set ('94-'98) with late rom lenses that render a more modern Leica look (i.e. more cooler and accurate colors). Compared to the early '80s set above, images are captured with more color separation in the details, more contrast and more saturated colors too. From what I've seen optically this is probably the closest one can get to a Summicron-C set, and certainly at this price point.
LATE 1990s DUCLOS SUMMICRON SET
24mm F2.8 #37... 1997 rom
35mm F2.0 #38... 1998 rom
50mm F2.0 #38... 1998 v3 German rom
90mm F2.0 #36... 1994 v3
$6950
Options: Add 19mm v2, 28mm v2, 60mm macro, 100mm APO macro, 135mm, 180mm F2.0 or F2.8 APO Elmarits... or upgrade to a Summilux set
