  1. Here we have a Rolleiflex 2.8F "White Face" 12/24 TLR serial #2477482 with Carl Zeiss Planar taking lens #5389026. Pristine condition. If I were to be 'picky' and I am - there are only a couple, faint hairline marks where a tripod would attach to the bottom mounting disk. Overall, probably the most mint Rolleiflex 2.8F 12/24 WhiteFace that I've had in 30 years, (and I've probably had or sold close to 50) It is in spectacular condition. I can't imagine anyone who holds it in their hands disagreeing or being in any way disappointed. Japanese collectors are selling this sort of camera for $3700+ and I haven't even seen one this nice. The Zeiss Planar lenses are free of marks, haze or fungus. The camera works well. This is a camera that was purchased new by the original owner and never used after the first week he had it - and it shows. It has not been serviced to my knowledge. With that said, the advance is smooth and the shutter is excellent. At one second it seems a little slow, which should come as no surprise under the circumstances, but it is consistent. Focus is smooth, the self-timer works, the mirror is spotless and the meter works. It comes with a new original Rollei strap, incident meter diffuser and original plastic Rollei caps. Just look at the photos! I'm actually going to a photo show in a few weeks, and guarantee that both this and my mint Voigtlander Perkeo E will be sold. **If you PM me your email, I can send you a Dropbox link to the high-res photos** Asking: $3100.00 (net to me) shipped within the USA
  2. I have for sale a brand-new and boxed Gitzo GT3542L Mountaineer Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod (Long) I purchased it for a camera system that I no longer own and never even took the tripod out of the box - except to photograph it. Load Capacity: 46.3 lb Max Height: 70.1" Min Height: 6.3" Folded Length: 23.2" Leg Sections: 4 Weight: 4.3 lb Carbon eXact Tubing G-Lock Ultra Twist Locks Redesigned Top Spider **I will also include a new Gitzo padded tripod bag ($125.00 value) with tripod purchase) Asking: $799.95 (net to me) shipped within the USA
  3. I have a Leica Q Silver Chrome Kit with 28mm F/1.7 Summilux ASPH lens, that was purchased from a US authorized dealer a couple of months ago as a backup and has just been sitting in the box unused. Needless to say, it is 100% pristine, mint and unused - 100% 'as-new' I even put a Leica LCD screen protector on since day one. Included is the Leica Q Silver Chrome Body Ref: 19022, all manuals, Lightroom CC 3-mo trial, charger, battery, cables, strap, caps, shade, inner and outer boxes The camera has been unregistered, so you can register it in your name, which is a very big deal. Even though these are great, robust and reliable cameras, without a warranty you are taking a big chance. You'll get a copy of the receipt (it doesn't matter that it is in my name, you can register it on the Leica Member's Area on their website in your name - 100%) **More photos available upon request** Asking: $3895.00 (net to me) shipped within the USA (Sorry, no trades)
  4. I have for sale a gorgeous Rolleiflex 3.5F 12/24 (120/220) Type 4 with the 75mm F/3.5 Schneider Xenotar 6-Element Lens complete with Rolleiflex Leather Case, Strap, Caps, incident meter diffuser and manual (in German, English reprint available) The screen is the Rolleiflex Grid and Magnified Microprism Center. The camera is approx. from the 1971-1976 timeframe, (so it is one of the latest Whiteface models) and from the looks of it, it was hardly used. The serial number for the camera is: 285xxxx. There are a few marks on tripod mounting plate, and a few faint marks near the shutter release, but I'm being very picky. The lenses are perfect, the mirror is perfect, and the waist-level finder is perfect. This camera is easily 95+% mint. The case is the proper case for a 12/24 Rollei, as it accommodates the 12/24 switch. The case is also near mint, (95%, except for a surface scratch on the front) No rot, splits or loose stitching. I’ve seen cases alone in this condition and strap alone fetch $300.00. I have been using and collecting Rolleiflex TLRs for years, and I've yet to find a Rolleiflex 3.5F 12/24 Xenotar this nice. Just look at the photos! The camera has also had a CLA over in the Netherlands. Everything has been checked and calibrated. Every Rolleiflex, no matter how pretty or little it’s been used, needs some sort of CLA or overhaul to keep it in good working order. I hate to sell it, but I have two 3.5Fs, and one must go. Rolleis in this condition are typically selling on the 'auction site' for well over $3000, and many are not a late model, 12/24 'Whiteface' Asking: $2150.00 (net to me) shipped within the USA
  5. I have for sale a Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH Lens, used once for 60 shots indoors, complete and boxed, Mint++ It was purchased new in March 2017 from an authorized dealer and was then put back in the box. *L Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format *Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22 *Four Aspherical Elements *11 Anomalous Partial Dispersion Elements *AquaDura Coating on Outer Elements *Stepping AF Motor and Linear Positioning* *Optical Image Stabilization *Internal Focus, Non-Rotating Filter Ring *Dust and Moisture-Resistant Design Sells in NY for $4950.00, Asking: $3750 (net to me) shipped within the USA **For more information, please contact me at bherman at townisp dot com**
  6. <p>All;<br> I have a Rolleiflex 2.8F which uses Bay 3 (RIII) bayonet filters. For Bay 3 filters one can choose Rollei, B+W or Heliopan, when available, and when they are, they are quite costly.<br> My question is this, I can pickup a Bay 3 to 43mm adapter by fotodiox and source new B+W circular filters for around $35.00/ea, or a few $$ more for MRC Multicoated. I always use the Rollei shade, and I heard that the 43mm adapter fits inside the rollei shade.<br> The B+W Bay filters will run $62.00/ea. or the original Rollei filters can run a little less (or more) depending upon the condition.I'm looking for a yellow, orange and maybe a red one. <br> Besides running me 30% more, and inherent advantages of the Bay 3 over the screw in? I'm sure that the adapter isn't of the same quality as the B+W filter thread, so I suppose I run the risk of the filter not coming off or jamming - maybe or maybe not?<br> Or, should I just get the Bay 3 filters while I can? <br> Any comments on this?</p>
