Arcwelder76 Posted May 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 19, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello all. I've got a well used Leica II that belonged to my Grandfather. It hasn't been used in years, but it functions. Body has serial of 85309, lens says Summar with a serial of 323549. I've no idea of where to sell this, and what a fair price is. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Arc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmonaut Posted May 19, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 19, 2008 It dates to 1932. I would check ebay but with the shape it's in I wouldn't think much. A great place to sell it would be. Maybe you should have it CLAed and just keep it.

dkCambridgeshire Posted May 19, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 19, 2008 It is not a scarce camera; over 36000 were made between 1932 and 1948. Here are some used camera dealers' websites where you might find some typical dealer prices for both the camera and the lens. If you are selling, best not to expect to receive anywhere near typical dealer selling price ... they can sit on dealers' shelves for months before finding buyers unless in exceptional cosmetic and functional condition. Some dealers sell on commission basis eg 20% ... and you could try Ebay ... but if it has not been used for ages then would be advisable to ascertain functional condition and put a film through it to check results . Cameras of this age could have several possible faults eg shutter tapering and inaccurate shutter speeds ... cloudy viewfinder ... less than perfect lens optics (cloudy or scratched) ... light leaks. https://secure.ffordes.com/index.htm New Page 2 Collectable Cameras 01757 638649 Classic Cameras - Rare and Collectable Photographic Equipment – MWClassic.com used photographic equipment used leica used cameras used nikon - Home Aperture Photographic Tel. 020 7242 8681 Fax. 020 7242 8680 Cheers dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
