Anything to sell (WTS) or looking for anything specific (WTB)?

It is also the responsibility of the seller to ensure that payment is forthcoming before parting with said item.

FS: 135mm lens

Post by Charles Twist » Sat Aug 30, 2008 8:11 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hello All,
After several years of solid performance, I have decided to sell my 135mm lens for an upgrade. It's a Caltar II-N 135mm f/5.6, which is a rebranded Rodenstock Apo Sironar N, very similar in design to the old Symmar's by Schneider Kreuznach. This one is multi-coated, with a Copal 0 shutter. Everything works perfectly and the glass is clean. It comes with both lens caps - one is a Caltar while the other is a Schneider Kreuznach from a 40-year-old Symmar. This lens has the advantage of being very small and light making it ideal for hiking; see Kerry Thalman's page for more on this lens. I'd be looking at offers around £180 - I think that's about right. Contact me if you're interested (Gari had trouble PM'ing me recently, so maybe worth putting a note here as well).
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Charles

Hi,

I sent a PM yesterday. Not sure if it was sent ok, since it's in the outbox, not the sentbox, but that might just be a forum bug or operator error...

Hello Magnus,
I have a Calumet Copal 0 board which will fit a Cambo monorail (162mm square). I am happy to sell that with the lens for an extra £15.
Best regards,
Charles

PS 1: The message stays in the outbox until the recipient opens it, at which stage it is transferred to the sentbox.

PS 2: FAO Marc Schmidt, are you coming to the Lake District? I'll give you the Cambo back then.
