Leica M8 + Zeiss ZM and Voigtlander Lenses

Up for sale is my Leica M8 in black. I'd love to be able to keep it but unfortunately I do need to free up some cash as I'm graduating soon...

The camera works perfectly and was serviced by Leica USA last March, which included a full sensor and rangefinder calibration. There is some wear on it, particularly around the strap lugs but I think it still looks great. The M8 engraving on the front has been blacked out for "stealth" and I've replaced the terrible plastic screen cover with a glass one. Comes with two aftermarket batteries and one original. $1550.

Also for sale are:
Zeiss ZM 25mm F/2.8 - In black, great condition, THE sharpest 25/24mm lens ever made and one of Zeiss' best lenses. Modified with Leica-style focus tab. Comes with original Zeiss lens hood. $880, add $20 for B+W UVIR Filter.

Zeiss ZM 35mm F/2 - In black, good condition, not quite as good as the 25mm but still can go up against Leica's 35 Summicrons. Modified with Leica-style focus tab. $800

Voigtlander 15mm F/4.5 - In black, screw mount, body has wear on it but the glass is perfect. Works great on the M8 unlike other mirrorless cameras. $380, generic UVIR filter and CV 15/21mm viewfinder included.

Thumbs Up CSEP -4 Double Shoe Thumb Grip - An essential grip for digital Leica's. Makes handling them much easier. Comes with an extra slot over the viewfinder for easier use of external viewfinders. $60

Thumbie Thumb Grip - Like the above but doesn't take up the hotshoe. $40

Take all of the above for $3550 or M8 + 25 + 35 + Grips for $3250. Either would make a fantastic starter kit in the Leica world.

However, discounts are possible for any combination. All reasonable offers considered.

Also have a Voigtlander Bessa L for sale. Would go great with the 15mm. Take the Bessa + Lens + Viewfinder for $480.

ONLY looking to trade for Fuji X-Pro 1 or X-E1 and 18-55 lens. Maybe 35mm 1.4 as well.

M8 price reduced to $1550. Forgot to add that a Voigtlander 15/21mm viewfinder is included in the price of the 15/4.5.

Whoops, forgot to mention that the Thumbie is new and in box. I got it recently and never got the chance to use it.
