Gradually letting go of my 'extra' Leica Rs, and in most cases keeping the uglier copies and releasing the true gems. This is one such case.
Here we have 3 Leica R 1.4 'Super Speeds' – the holy grail of Leica R low-light performance – very late Summiluxes that are all in Near Mint condition, with Lens #s 36... to 38... extremely rare, hard to find and in superb shape. These were all made towards the end of the run, so contain Leica's later optical coatings and feel newer than the more common older copies. Currently all are in Leica R mount, but I can include great step-ups and Leitax EF mounts (see below) or send them directly to Duclos, who'll ship to you fully cine-modded to your specs two weeks later.
These are a great upgrade to an existing LR set and an amazing foundation for a new one. With full 6k coverage, simply amazing on Dragon, Epic and Scarlet.
• 35 Summilux #35... with Leica leather case and caps
• 50 Summilux E55 #36... with Leica leather case, manuals and caps
• 80 Summilux #38... with Leica leather case, original box, manuals and caps
$7250 – as-is with insured US shipping included (+3% paypal payment)
These are in exceptional condition, have phenomenal glass, etc. The only minor fault of any significance is the 80mm has built up some micro-dust, which probably has no effect but can be professionally cleaned for $85–$280 depending on who services it. These literally took months to find/assemble. Great late copies rarely come up, even on Ebay (and when they do they're usually very expensive or have significant issues).
I can include new Leitax EF mounts and 80mm front cap for $110 per lens and/or new Cordvision threaded Step-Ups and 80mm front caps at cost $40 lens. Or I can ship them to Duclos and let you take it from there.
PM to purchase. Perfect feedback on ebay, etc. References available upon request and will add picts soon.
