Advertisement Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Hi iphoenix, Take a look here A$515,500 "Buy it now" for an EbayLeica IIG, etc.?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
duckrider Posted November 10, 2014 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2014 My good old Rogilatti G Rogliatti: Leica 1925 1975 Ein Handbuch f says, there never was a IIg Version. From time to time there occurs one..... The asked price, ten times higher than the last time offered, is a bit over my budget, so I don't mind:rolleyes:. But all in all there are three price offers by interest at the time. And a srew mount Summilux would be a dream too.... But there are members here in the forum with much more knowledge but me: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-collectors-historica/299734-iig.html watch the S/no 825003 !

M9reno Posted November 10, 2014 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2014 And according to the serial number it is the 3rd 'g' ever produced. Unless the seller is an idiot, such things are put on Westlicht, not ebay. Unlikely enough that although the same seller (apparently) has some nice camera cases for sale, I kept away. Something doesn't smell right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted November 10, 2014 Share #4 Posted November 10, 2014 See duckrider link.... They are trying again after 1 year and a pair of months... http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-collectors-historica/299734-iig.html (and not at the same price... ) As always, a not officially listed camera can make any kind of doubts to emerge...

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 11, 2014 Share #5 Posted November 11, 2014 Hello Everybody, In his book "Leica 60 Years" Rogliatti has a photo of Leica IIg number 825001. The IIg APPEARS to be the same as a IIIg EXCEPT it does NOT have a slow speed dial on the front of the body. Where the slow speed dial should be there is a small raised portion covered with a Vulcanite patch. Rogliatti said there were about 12 or 15 of the IIg's made. It might be be interesting to see if there is a IIg in the Official Leica Tree. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphoenix Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted November 11, 2014 Thank you Duckrider, I didn't remember my query on its' appearance last year. Always wanted to live to a "ripe old age", but a failing memory doesn't help. It'll be interesting to see if the future "Buy It Now" price deletes the first 5.

iphoenix Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted November 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Glad I didn't succumb to temptation. It now has a "BIN" price of A$189,000. Interesting progression of prices! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphoenix Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted January 19, 2015 Glad I didn't succumb to temptation. It now has a "BIN" price of A$189,000. Interesting progression of prices! This bloke seems to be a "comedian". It's back again on the same sales site (sorry, I can't find an item no.), at A$189000; though this time with a collapsible Summicron s/no. 13523?? (couldn't read the last couple of digits). Gee, I wonder if I had bought this at the originally listed price of $50 odd thousand, he would have bought it back at a profit? Strangely, I think not .

Best Regards, Michael Lager "Cameras" repeats essentially the same information.."Occasionally a IIIg is seen without a self timer or slow speeds thus identiying it as a IIg. The designation is unofficial. Nevertheless, camera 825001 without self timer or slow speeds resides in the Leica Family Tree" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphoenix Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted January 21, 2015 For information, I see the Summilux earlier fitted was sold a few weeks ago for A$2104. The camera plus Summicron has now been re-listed without change to the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
