Leica 135/2.8

[rover]

Joe's friend probably wants $600 for his. That is $600 US. I can probably send about a couple hundred his way. That is a couple Canadian hundred. So I am sure it won't work out, but some day...You are right Pherdinand, I will be haunted until the day comes.

Of course with a buying agent like Joe, I may make out.

OK, off to get my Christmas tree put up. I will have to check back shortly to see if I am the proud owner of a lovely Canon 135mm lens though.

So everything is in peace again 🙂

Now you may have another reason to GO for that IIa...

Isn't it great to have friends ? ... 😀

And congrats for the Canon ! 😉

hey good on you rover!

finally, some good canon glass for you!! lol

will this go on the r2?
are you worried about the baselength?

joe

R3a should have a long enough EBL to handle this bad boy. That is unless someone here is looking for a 135. Then it will go on their camera. This may make its way to the "for trade" thread. I should give it a chance first though.

I need a finder now.

 

[back alley]

i have one that i'm not using.

joe

 

[rover]

What are you going to use for your 135?

How much are they worth?

Do you need a PING putter or Ti Bubble 2 Driver?

 

[back alley]

i have a new finder called the canon 7,...sorry smart ass alert...

i'm sure they are worth a lot!😉
i traded with brian, got the finder and some trinkets for a 285 flash.

i hate golf, sorry once again.

do you have anything left on your trade post? maybe i should take a look.

joe

 

[rover]

Everything on the traded list is available other than the things I have already sent you. I also have a Hove book for the Canon EOS 10s.

 

[back alley]

now if you only had that canon history book, by peter d????

nothing on the trade list is ringin' my bell rover.

if you want the finder i can send it your way and keep this end of the trade open till later.

joe

 

[rover]

Yeah, my list is pretty thin.

I do have the Canon book, and read it very regularly.

I will get another copy though to complete the trade if you wish.

 

[back alley]

that's a deal!
it will be in the mail tomorrow.

joe

 

[rover]

Good deal!!!

Is this the lens hood that you have for the 135?

It takes 48mm filters right, I have lots of those.

 

[rover]

I will send my book Monday and replace it with another.

And what is the story with that Contax?

 

[back alley]

so many questions!

i'm waiting for my lens hood that was made for the 135 lens and yes, it's just like that one.
i have that on my watch list also. interesting side note, the only bidder so far is the guy who sold me the p.
yes, 48mm filters, easy to come by.

the contax?
i know he wants top dollar for it. he has a nice collection of leicas that he uses to make money, he also works as a camera salesman in the local pro shop and has done some business on ebay. (with a partner as he isn't so computer savvy - but the other guy died suddenly) i bought my 'new' billingham from him this past week.
if you want i can ask him about a price. the camera was recently cleaned up by the canadian leica importers and it cost over 300 bucks cdn for the cla. (nothing is cheap here - except maybe gas)

as for that book, i hope there are no thumb prints in it 😉

The book looks brand new, you will love it.

 

[back alley]

just sent you a p.m.
