Hello everyone!
I have bitten the bullet and bought a leica M6 from a fellow RFF'r which is now in transit to my house. My friendly local drugstore camera shop manager has a couple of lenses to sale me to help me get started. He said he wants to sale them for about twenty percent below market (e-bay) value to me. I am going to research prices a bit as will he, we will compare prices we find and then we will strike a deal.
My immediate inclination was to post here and get some advise from what I have grown to accept as the market specialists. If you could tell me what the lens would sale for (estimate of course) it will help me out alot.
I also invite any tid-bits of info on these lens's such as good or bad points and especially anything that will make me fill good about them. (tall tales of legendary glow or how the lens told the future in "hitchcock presents" and what not😀).
Here are the lenses:
1: Summitar F=5cm 1:2- 1:16 (collapsible)
Serial number: 663110
Original cap
The scale was in feet. (I certainly do not know if this matters.)
notes: The glass was fine and dandy. It was clear of any haze or fog. There were light cleaning marks on the front element but no scratches or anything that would effect quality of image. There were some very light marks on the outside of the barrel from collapsing but not any bad ones or signs of abuse. The aperture blades showed no signs of oil and the aperture changed very smoothly and easily. I have no camera to mount them to, but the threads looked to be in good shape.
Oh yeah, will the collapsible work on my M6?
2: Elmar f=3.5cm 1:3.5-18
Serial number:694295
original cap
notes: The glass was clean. I could not see any signs of separation, fog or hazing on the lens. It was not as easy to see the glass being so small but there were some very light cleaning marks on the front element. The min thing that stuck out to me about this lens was that the aperture was very stiff. It would change to all positions and did so smoothly without slipping or notchy feelings, but it took quite a bit of force to move it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any advice you can offer as to price or other. I have to go to class now but I will check back throughout the day and answer any questions I can.
Sorry if I come off real cheesy but I am pretty damn excited right now!

P.S. Would the cameraquest adapters work fine on these lenses and my M6?
