Hello all. I am new here and looking to find more information about some Leicas! As the title suggests, my uncle left me two suitcases full of items I know nothing about (I'm a digital Canon and Sony user).

 

I'm primarily looking for info regarding how special/rare/valuable any of this stuff is, primarily the Summicron lens. I might be looking to sell this stuff locally so I want to make sure I get the appropriate value.

 

From what I was able to find, this lens is an R mount 35mm f/2.0 that I THINK was made in 1982 with a total run of 2000 units. What is this worth? I'm in the US if that makes a difference.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

You'll get a better sense of present price ranges by going to Igor Camera's R listings, Tamarkin, Camera West, Adorama and B&H. These are retail prices, so subtract ~20-30% to get a sense of what you may get selling privately.
