FS: Leica 80-200mm f/4 Vario-Elmar-R; Mint, $850

[tetrode]

Time to part with my remaining inventory of Leica R equipment. I am the original owner of this mint/LN 80-200/4 Vario. This lens is amazingly sharp and contrasty. Zoom and focus are silky smooth. Diaphragm is snappy and oil-free. No marks of any kind on the glass. The lens works very well when mounted on a Canon body as seen here:

And a quick sample:

Lens will be supplied with original front and rear caps, leather pouch, and box. In addition, a Leica-to-EOS adapter will be included.

$850 inclusive of PayPal fees and shipping/insurance. US and Canada only please. Local pickup in New York City vicinity also an option.

This is a great lens and at an even greater price. I use one on my A900 and the results are spectacular.
Dave, I sent you a pm.

Am I correct that this lens will mount a Leica body and also mount a Canon when using the adapter?
If so, I am intersted in purchasing- Thanks,
John

I guess Dave has not seen these posts yet. Anyway, I bought this lens from Dave a while ago. BTW, Dave is great guy to do business with.

aoljps, you are right it can be used on R, or Canon body with an adapter.

Apologies everyone. The lens has indeed been sold to Pei. Now if someone would let me in on the secret for updating the thread title to say "SOLD" I'd be *very* grateful

Pei, thank you for the kind words. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with you.
