I have moved on from the Leica R system. My Leica 400mm f2.8 APO has just returned from a cleaning and service and it is time to put it for sale. I have owned this lens since new, bought in I think 1998. These are a fairly rare lens, with around 390 made. It is about 2kg lighter than the modular version and I believe it also focuses closer. The lens is super smooth to focus and I have always shot sports and action with it using only my thumb to move the focus ring.
The lens had a complete service by Leica Solms which included a complete clean, lube and check optics for centering and etc. This service cost $1395.
It is in EX++ to mint- condition, with only a few marks on the lens body. The optics are freshly cleaned, though they were not dirty to begin with. The focus is smooth as new since it just had a CLA. My asking price is $8900. I will share the shipping fee.
Here are some images taken with the lens, the first few on film and later on digital, using the DMR.
