bobkatz Posted October 18, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi friends: I found a guy here in Mexico offering a Leica gear for $dlls. 1,500.00, I know the price is very variable, I ask for opportunity for check and shoot some rolls, but since I am an amateur I ask your expertise, do you consider the price is fair? I hope this isnt a fake.. I post a jpg the guy sent me... Thanks in advance.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frc Posted October 18, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2007 This sounds like a lot of money. Between 750 and a grand would be more reasonable imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitz_not_leica Posted October 19, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 19, 2007 No mention of a CLA on the camera = $500-$700 depending on close inspection. It may need one, which is about $300 with a good tech. Summicron averages about $400-$500 The other lenses about $100 each assuming good glass. Accessories, a couple of hundred, at best. In total, best case = $1500 Not a bad deal, but not the bargain we all look for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted October 19, 2007 Share #4 Posted October 19, 2007 My feelings are as follows: Leica M2……………………….$600.00 Summicron 2/50mm………….$400.00 Collapsible Elmar 4/90mm…..$400.00 Nikkor 3.5/135mm………….…$150.00 Leica Ball Head…………...…...$50.00 TOTAL…………………….….$1,700.00 This is assuming that all equipment is in good shape, without haze, fungus or cleaning marks on the lenses. The one unusual lens in the package is the collapsible 90mm Elmar - this is the later optical design with improved performance over the original lens, which was designed in the 1930’s. So - the $1,500.00 is not entirely out of line, provided the lenses have no issues and the body does not need any extensive rangefinder work.
