Getting my first Barnack tomorrow!

Must be very disappointing Roberto. But now you have been infected.

Disappointing indeed, but now I'm definitely hooked to Barnacks!

Sorry to hear the deal was too good to be true Roberto,

There's no cure for Leicaphilia, the only way to slow it down is to invest the cash in another Barnack and a lens or two. 😉

Already working on it 😉 Haha, as if I didn't have enough GAS for M lenses. Actually, I don't know how I've resisted buying more!

 

[Mr_Flibble]

For me that's easy, utter lack of disposable income 🙂

Everyone seems to think that $500 was the price. But Roberto said the seller raised the price by $500.00 So the actual price must have been more than that, as he said in post #20.

Roberto, did you get your money back?

 

[Roberto V.]

I'll probably meet the guy tomorrow to get the money back.

Well, it seems like the seller will pay to get the whole kit CLA'd. This might not be so bad after all. Meanwhile, I loaded the camera with a roll of Tri-X which I will push to 3200, I'm gonna use it at f/8 or smaller, scale focused since I can't focus with the RF.
Hopefully the kit will go to Youxin Ye to get overhauled soon.

Wish me luck guys!

Youxin is great. The 6 Leica's that he has CLA'd and 3 with replaced beamsplitters have never given me a problem since. 5 Barnack's, 1 M2.
