I told you not to look!!!

I looked & I'm content with my Bessa🙂 Plus I'm strapped anyhow which helps.😉

 

[Michael Markey]

Seems nobody is in a rush ....been there since before Christmas (I think).

How many megapixels?

 

[Simon Bruxelles]

In a world in whch ebay dealers are asking £150 for a FISON and £250 for a NOOKY-HESUM nothing would surprise me (apart from someone actually paying those prices!).

Spend six or seven hundred on a IIIf and Elmar 3.5 and put it in your pocket, if you need a case get a grocery bag and carry it in that. . Every thing else in that package is just luxury items

Yes, but a very nice collection of luxury items. Very, very nice collection, actually. Wonder just how much use - if any - it got from its original owner?

Kind of overpriced for a common IIIf BD and four bread and butter lenses.

Well, in all fairness, a IIIf and a 3.5 Elmar are luxury items too...

Seems to me there is a lot more offered than that here... 😕

 

[MaxElmar]

That's a really pretty set, but it's not knocking me over like some things I've seen. It would be super cool to see the original invoices....

From my point of view the rest are mostly a pile of useless gadgets that most photographers looking for the Barnack experience can do without.

Yes, but I understand that it's the stuff of dreams for the Barnack collector. I fall somewhere in between. The whole collection is somewhat greater than the sum of the parts.

What?? No backup body??

I look at the main meat of the kit and I do not see anything that is super juicy or rare or exotic, I guess I been to too many old camera shows in the past.

 

[jsrockit]

That's the point, they are no longer $10 items.

 

[Simon Bruxelles]

Ironically, the only item you couldn't find 10 of on ebay right now is the case, which may not be made by Leica at all.

 

[johannielscom]

Hm,

Must be because of having a look while on the iPhone, but to me it seems a hardly used, well-preserved kit with nothing special but a nice kit none the less.
I find it shows a great deal of love for those pieces that somebody collected everything they wanted to have, had a case made for it (not cheap I'm sure) and saved all 24 invoices.

Shouldn't be dismissed so easily, IMHO.

Thanks for the link, Dave!
