** LOWERED PRICES **
Home repairs have hit me harder financially than I had hoped, and I’m sad to say I haven’t been using two of my RF camera systems much lately, so I’m hoping they can find new homes via RFF – either as a kit or broken up into individual pieces (see below for info). You can see images of all the gear here (you may have to copy and paste as I don't know how to make the whole url a link, sorry):
http://s539.photobucket.com/albums/f...tobucket_2008/
First up is my Bessa R2 kit – this consists of a black Bessa R2 body, a black MiniSoftRelease, a Voigtlander Ever Ready case, a Bessa Side Grip, a black Voigtlander 35mm 2.5 Skopar, a black Voigtlander 50mm 1.5 Nokton, and a chrome user Leica 90mm 2.8 Elmarit. The kit also includes three 39mm filters – a Red Hoya, an Orange Hoya, and Yellow Leitz – in a padded case, and I’ll throw in a homemade wrist strap if you want it. See the individual descriptions below for info and links to images.
Bessa R2 – bought used on RFF – a few small scratches on the back near the film indicator window and on the top near the rewind knob (visible in the photos) but otherwise in excellent condition - works extremely well – meter and RF spot on. Individual price includes MiniSoftRelease, Eveready case and Side Grip $300 plus Insured Shipping
If you just want the R2 body (several people have written to inquire about the case and the grip... and even the soft release) then it's $275 plus insured shipping.
Bessa R series Ever Ready case – Black leather (will not fit with the side grip attached, therefore, unused by me) - two tiny nicks (pinhead or smaller) – have to look to see them in person but they’re visible in the detail photos. Individual price $25 plus Shipping
Bessa R series Side Grip – Black (I don’t think it comes in chrome or olive) – Improves ergonomics and balance of the camera. Excellent condition and I have the box if you want it. $25 plus shipping
Voigtlander Cosina 35mm 2.5 Color Skopar (black) in LTM. Excellent condition – no scratches, dust, etc. – includes LTM to M adapter, 39mm Hoya Skylight filter, stock hood, front cap, LTM rear cap, and if I can find it, the rear M cap. I'll also include the three filters and case mentioned above. I have the box and the directions if you want them, too. $225 plus Insured Shipping
If you want just the lens (no adapter, no filters) it's $185 plus insured shipping
Voigtlander Cosina 50mm 1.5 Nokton (black) in LTM. Excellent condition – no scratches, dust, etc. – includes LTM to M adapter, 52mm B W UV filter, stock hood, front cap, M rear cap and a non-VC padded case. $275 plus Insured Shipping
If you just want the lens (no adapter, no filter, no case) it's $245 plus insured shipping
Leica 90mm 2.8 Elmarit (chrome) M-mount lens. User condition – some small scratches on the barrel, but the big issues are lots of dust inside (see the image) which never impacted image quality in my experience and there is oil on the aperture blades (and a slight resistance as you open it all the way up to 2.8) – should get a DAG or similar CLA but has worked fine for me as is – includes Leica leather case, B W UV filter, rear M cap, Heavystar (non-Leica) hood and matching lens cap for the hood. $175 plus Insured Shipping
I’ll sell the whole Bessa kit for $950 plus the cost of insured shipping if you’re interested in buying it all.
Second up is my Koni Rapid Omega kit – this consists of a black Koni Rapid Omega 100, a black 120 back, the side grip, a black padded Op/Tech strap, a black 90mm 3.5 Super Omegon lens, four Series VI filters (red, yellow, orange, and skylight) and retaining ring for the 90mm, the eyepiece for the Rapid Omega 100, a black 58mm 5.6 Wide Omegon and the auxiliary finder for the lens (both with their leather cases), a black 135mm 3.5 Konica Hexanon with a Zing! Neoprene case, the Rapid Omega Auto Up #1 in its original box, the Rapid Omega Auto Up #2 in its original box, and a cable release.
N.B. - All of the lenses, body, and back have been sent to Greg Weber and have a clean bill of health and are calibrated to focus perfectly with this Rapid 100. I can try to find the receipts if you would like me to include them or scan them. This may help to explain some of my prices being higher than e-bay bargain finds. You can see examples of images made with this camera and these lenses at my website and I can send larger files of scanned negatives if you want. Link to my photos:
http://www.andrewroy.com/away/california?page=1
Koni Rapid Omega 100 – I am the second owner (the first owner was a member of the Massachusetts Police who, according to Mr. Weber, probably never used the camera). Excellent condition but three small scratches near the bottom tripod mount where I mounted a quick release plate that scuffed the camera – includes the 90mm 3.5 (excellent, no dust, scratches, etc. all times accurate on the shutter), a black 120 back (excellent, even frame spacing and smooth action), the side grip, the filters mentioned above, the eyepiece mentioned above (I never used it but good for glasses wearers), and a cable release that works with the Rapid 100 (not a Koni Omega release, but it has a longer throw than the standard release). $275 plus Insured Shipping
Konica 58mm 5.6 Wide Omegon lens – black – excellent condition (no dust, scratches, etc). One image shows strange streak on front element but it’s not on the lens – some kind of reflection (I can reshoot more images if you want). Includes the original leather case, a Schneider lens cap that fits perfectly as a rear cap, a no-name front cap, and if you want it a 52mm Hoya HMC filter that doesn’t exactly thread but does fit to protect the lens. Also includes the Auxiliary finder (good condition – some strange spotting visible in the front – I couldn’t capture it in the images but it doesn’t affect the image you see through the finder) and its original leather case. $275 plus Insured Shipping
Konica Hexanon 135mm 3.5 lens – black – a very rare lens, this one took me three years to find – excellent condition (no dust, scratches, etc.) – includes 67mm Hoya UV filter, no-name front lens cap, and an ill-fitting no-name rear lens cap (the focusing rods stick out very far so I’m curious what the original rear lens cap looked like if there was one), and a black neoprene Zing! Case. $400 plus Insured Shipping
Rapid Omega Auto Up #1. Excellent condition – in the original box. $35 plus Insured Shipping
Rapid Omega Auto Up #2. Excellent condition – in the original box. $35 plus Insured Shipping
I’ll sell the whole Koni Rapid Omega kit for $950 plus the cost of insured shipping if you’re interested in buying it all.
RFFers with whom I’ve done trades and/or bought/sold gear: Taffer, Pherdinand, Gene W, Greyhoundman, Gerry M, Time Freeze, ray_g, jtzordon, ampguy, David Murphy, and Rick Beckrich (there may be others, too, apologies if I left someone out). My ebay feedback (100%) is under andrewroy if you want to check that as well. I would prefer insured shipping for the cameras and lenses.
As I wrote before, I’ll ship to the US and Canada (my apologies to RFF'ers in other locales). I’ll take Paypal. I've cleared out my mailbox so if you're interested, please PM me with questions, and thanks for looking.

Hello Everyone,
I'm sorry for the slow reply to PMs - I've been overwhelmed by kitchen repairs and teaching classes - I promise to reply to the rest of the inquiries by week's end, and I thank you for your interest.
have a good night,
Andrew

Shamelessly bumping my stuff to promote lowered prices.
Have a good night,
Andrew
