Description:
|
I am selling a black Leica M8, like new with box, manuals, all original equipment. It comes with a 50mm f/2.0 Summicron Lens. I have owned it for 7 months and it's been used so little - it just isn't my thing. I am partial to my D3. I would guess it has well under 1,000 actuations. I'm selling it at a discount. It is in perfect condition. Not a single problem. Really neat camera, very portable and discreet.
You may not have heard, but Leica is now offering a program that allows you to get updates for the M8 when they are offered, so it's likely to be the latest and greatest camera that Leica has to offer for quite some time to come. Eventually you'll even be able to upgrade the sensor.
I bought the 50mm f/2.0 Summicron lens from a camera store as a "used" lens, but it was actually new in box when I got it. Not a single mark on it, all original box, packaging, etc. I have the UV filter for it from Leica, as well as another one that I will include. It's an excellent lens that gives you a ton of options for whatever you're planning to photograph.
I included two photos that I took with the M8 and this 50mm lens. Black and white photos are amazing and Leica's claim to fame, but I wanted you to see that color photos can look amazing too. The Leica shoots in DNG files, which is very convenient to work with in Lightroom, Aperture, or Photoshop.
These are in pristine condition. The retail price would be around $6300 (plus applicable tax) if you were to purchase the camera and the lens from B&H or another dealer.
Shipping cost is included in the price.
If you don't need the lens, email me and we can talk about splitting them up. However I will give priority to buyers who want to take them as a package deal.
I also have a flash for the camera - it's the Leica 24D flash. NEVER used. LOL. Retails for $349 from B&H. I will sell it for $250 if you buy the camera and lens

Jennifer,
Any chance you'd sell just the lens and if so for how much?

Hi Paul,
I would consider it - although I would prefer to wait a bit and make sure the camera sells LOL because if I have to keep it, I will need a lens 
I would be looking for $595 plus shipping. Used ones are going for about $750 and I think that is what I paid. It's in fabulous condition, it came out of the box new. I think it just sat on someone's shelf for a while and then eventually became "used".

Let me know if you decide to sell the lens separately as I would be interested.
Thanks,
Paul
