What desired RF item have you NEVER seen in the classifieds?

[Benjamin Marks]

RFF seems to cast a pretty broad net in the RF world. I have seen Horseman medium format RF's, C/V lenses of all descriptions, Leica, natch, and so on. So let me ask the negative: what desired RF item have you never seen posted for sale here? Has anyone ever seen a functional Linhoff Tech IV with cammed lenses, for example? A Noctilux 0.95?

I've never seen a 35/2.8 Biogon lens (and viewfinder, of course!) for a Contaflex TLR. Matter of fact, I've only ever seen one for sale, and that was a few years ago at a European auction, and it was part of a much larger Contaflex TLR kit. Would love to add it to the collection.

A Thambar would be pretty nice too.....

Leica 1 or 1a ... there's been lots of screwmounts sold over the years but the camera that started it all has never appeared in my memory!

I can´t remember seeing a Kallo/Kowa 140 w/50mmf1.4

• A RF cam for my Topcor 150mm lens on the Horseman 970.
• A Topcor 65mm or 75mm lens for the Horseman 970, 985, VH-R cameras.
• A Horseman 970 to 4x5" conversion back.
• A Horseman Convertible 842 camera with 62mm lens.

I'm having a Horseman episode again 😎, hèhè.

Anybody got one? :angel:

I don't remember a black Leica MP3 being for sale. I'm glad, it's my favorite Leica body and I might get tempted.

I think I listed one here once back about 2005 or so. I ended up selling it on eBay. At that time I had a thing against uncoated lenses (which I've mostly gotten over).

 

[David Murphy]

Minolta 35's are almost never seen here. They are great little cameras with a fine set of lenses (all rare), but the shutter curtains are usually shot - worth fixing however.

I don't recall seeing:
Zeiss Hologon in M mount
Zeiss ZM 15mm f/2.8 (in fact, I don't know of ANYONE who has bought this lens yet)
Leica Summarex
Original black paint Leica MP
Canon 19mm LTM lens with finder
Canon 50mm f/1.2 LTM OEM lens shade
Tewe Varifocal finder 35-200 with 28mm reducing lens
A cure for GAS

I'm sure I could think of other things

I've never seen the Leica TUVOO 28mm adapter for my IMARECT.

I guess I'll have to post one now. 🙂
