[Kurt Iswarienko]

MINT +++ LIKE NEW condition Leica Vario APO Elmarit R 70-180mm F2.8 for sale. This is one of the most rare most superbly built lenses of all time and it's ready to work on your RED Epic or Scarlet. The consistent sharpness and resolving power of this lens across all focal lengths in the range surpasses that of it's Leica-R Prime counterparts, and it will do it wide open at F2.8. This lens gets Line Pair readings over 200, which compares only to Master Primes and other 20K + per prime cinema lenses. This one has the Leitax Canon EOS adapter with dandelion chip installed. It can be modified for Nikon as well. Anybody who knows lenses knows this is as good as it gets. It's the perfect compliment to the Vario Elmarit 35-70mm F2.8 of which only 200 were made. The lens is located in Los Angeles, California and has been thoroughly inspected and evaluated by Duclos Lenses.
Asking $6,999.99. Images attached. Please send all correspondence and inquiries to iswarienko@gmail.com or call 917-279-6074. Thank You.

I'd consider buying both Leicas back from you for the price I sold them to you for.

Approximately 3200 Leica Vario APO Elmarit R 70-180mm F2.8 lens were produced; 500 alone in the year of your lens ~(1995).

Looks really sweet but is it worth three times the amazing Canon 70-200 F.2.8 II ?

 

[Scott Ippolito]

Does the lens have any cine modifications. Gear for follow focus (don't see in picture, but thought I'd ask), or de-clicked aperture?

Thank you.

Best,

Scott

Is this Zoom still for sale? Mine was stolen earlier in the week and I am looking to replace it. Please let me know.
