Leica LTM Leitz Thambar (going, going)

[Roger Hicks]

Roger Hicks wrote an interesting review of the Thambar. I can't find it now...

Indifferent pictures, though.

I bought it off him later: $3000, with all the bits.

Cheers,

R.

Thanks for popping in and commenting, Roger.

Here's another shot, taken wide open with the spot filter. "Portrait of a Pentax"
By the way, this lens makes me look prettier than I really am. 😀

The seller copied it into the ebay listing I think...

Indeed, complete with copyright details—what a hide. At least, selling for over $3000 partly on the strengths of Roger's article, he should be in a position to pay some compensation for the usage...there is an option on eBay listing pages to report unauthorised use of copyrighted material, Roger, for future reference.

Oh, and this lens is for sale here on RFF "exclusively" in the classified ads, if anyone's interested. I'll probably regret it, but I'm not a collector, or really
even much of a serious photographer.

FYI, the Thambar has been sold, pending shipping and inspection, to (I believe) a very fortunate gentleman in CA.
