you think this auction included the lens?

I emailed the seller to see if that 35 'cron was included, but got no response. I think iit would be very likely that the lens was included. Too bad I forgot to bid on this item before auction ended..

Even if it didn't... Although, now that I think about it, at that price, it better did! 🙂

If I were a Leica fan I would have a better idea if the final selling price is a "fair" one for a body or body + lens. Everything seems to suggest that it is a: "body + lens = camera" kind of sale.

Seller states they are selling a "camera" - which to most people would be a camera body with a lens.

I have to admit that I am always a bit more "leery" of buying items from "clearance" type auctioneers vs. those sellers who are "dealers" in a narrow range of stuff.

Since my interests lie in the Nikon world, I don't see these kinds of ads very much. I do have to admit that the "visuals" are very distracting.

The finally selling price would make you think it's the body only. However, the picture does show the camera+lens.

The reason I'm asking this is because that lens along is $1500. Since the seller is not a knowledgable camera dealer, they might have overlooked the value of the lens.

If this indeed included the lens, then this could be deal of the century. You're basically getting the body or lens, free. Take your pick..

Perhaps the picture was meant to mislead? I don't know but with a positive feedback of only 88.7%, it's kind of suspicious.

If you look at the feedback, there are quite a few comments on "deceiving" and inaccurate pictures. With no mention of lens and no answer, I would suspect body only and the listing appears a "stock" one ie "if electronic item" etc etc. Unless it was very very cheap, I wouldn't go near them with their record.

It's quite a bet to place. The listing is quite specific, with no mention of lens.

Also note that they've had over 4000 negatives in the past 6 months!

If the lens and the case are not included, it is fraud, if they are included it is a very good price.
