I originally set out to have fun with a Leica setup for a year or so last spring. It's almost a year, so the fun must come to an end. Circle of life and all that.

Up for sale is a Leica M6 classic .72 in black, Zeiss 35/2.8 C-Biogon also black, Leitz Canada Tele-Elmarit 90/2.8, and a Nikkor 5cm/2 that focuses close (courtesy of BrianS), all purchased from members of this forum. Only used a handful of times...fewer than 10 rolls of film shot.

The Leica is in excellent condition cosmetically. Not collector status, but better than user grade for sure. like an 8+. Rangefinder is a hair off when checked at infinity, which is how it came to me, but i haven't really had an issue with focus because of it. Just something to be aware of. I'm trying to price it with that in mind.

The Zeiss lens is in excellent + condition, with the only signs that it's not brand new being extremely minor - and typical - wear to the paint on the focus ring. Glass is clean front and rear. Beautiful lens...very sharp, very well corrected, with a really delightful rendering quality. There's something both very classic and very modern about it simultaneously. Includes caps, box, and paperwork.

The 90/2.8 is in user condition. It was described as having a 1/8" internal scratch, and perhaps a bit of haze along an edge, when I bought it. I've seen zero evidence of either in photos. Brilliant on film and digital. I have the oddball cap...someplace...i just have to remember where i put it so i wouldn't forget where i put it.

The Nikon 5cm f/2 is a version modified by member Brian_S to enable close focus, bargain condition but fixed up via his methods. It's got interesting character. Worth checking out.

Leica M6 Black - $900
Zeiss 35/2.8 C-Biogon black - $675
Leitz 90/2.8 - $365
Nikon 5cm/2 - $160

All prices are including shipping and paypal to CONUS. shipping to other localities will be at the actual cost of shipping. Going for the whole package upgrades you to 2nd day fedex shipping in CONUS (at cost, minus CONUS price, to other locations).

Thanks for looking,
Daves :)
