May offerings

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Seems I am behind as usual.  Many pieces I’ve pulled from our inventory are now on-line, but weeks later than I had hoped.  We still have a lot of equipment that has yet to see daylight - part of my penchant for buying and holding.  Well, it’s time to move it out of here!

New on our web Site:

Leica If RD with 5cm Elmar Red Scale

Nikon 43-86mm f/3.5 AI

Pentax Spotmatic Black Paint

Pentax Lenses

Robot Luftwaffen

Rollei “Baby” Rolleiflex

TDC Stereo Camera

Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex IIa

Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta IV

That’s all for today.  I hope to post more frequently, maybe with some items more interesting than strictly inventory lists!

Our Tenth Year!

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy beginning to the New Year!

This week we are sending the Nikon F5 to eBay, and also auctioning an 85mm f/1.4 AF D Nikkor, an 18mm f/2.8 AF D Nikkor, and a Sekonic Digi-Spot meter. We may have a couple of other Nikkor lenses to add later this week.

Auctions may be viewed here.

And especial thanks for your business. as we enter our tenth year on-line!

Leica Factory Numbers

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I have been trying to authenticate delivery information for a military Leica. Leica Wetzlar kept immaculate factory production records, but I was informed this last week they will not be available for an indefinite period of time. The good news is that Leica will make these records available on-line in the future.

New this week are a Nikon F5 and several very nice Nikon AF lenses. These lenses are in very nice condition, but if you hold the lens to a strong angular light (a trick used by collectors) you will see a slight bit of haze. Nothing that will affect your images - these lenses were used professionally.

Also, we have dropped the price on several pieces, including some Nikon rangefinder lenses. All our catalog items may be found here.

A very nice collection….

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

We are offering a series of very nice pieces, including two Nikon M pre-sync, several mint condition Nikon lenses, a civilian Kardon, and several Leica cameras and lenses, including a very nice Luftwaffen Eigentum. Some are hard to price, since they rarely become available, especially in this condition. We will consider offers on these pieces - please email if you are interested.

View our catalog here.

October’s first offerings

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

We have dropped our prices on many Leica accessories, including two very rare accessories - the Leica FIATE Stereo Slide and the MBROO Waterproof ever-ready case for IIIf and earlier cameras.

We are trying something different — these two rare items are also being offered on eBay.  You may buy them from our site at a 20% discount from our original price, or bid on eBay.  Once eBay bids are submitted, these two pieces will be pulled from our catalog!

Leica Accessories

Also at auction:

PictoColor Software - We have two copies of an older version of this software available.  They are unused, and great for a variety of digital applications.

Auctions may be viewed here.

Due to circumstances beyond our control we have not been as active on our web site as I would like.  Expect to see many new items over the next months, and we are still working on the web site upgrade we promised!

Weekly Notice

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

It has been a while since our last e-mail.  We are updating our web site, including the software used for our email messages to our subscribers list.  This software will be more secure, and make it easier to subscribe and unsubscribe.  It will also be accepted by more e-mail systems, some of which may have blocked our earlier subscriber messages.

You will see some changes through the rest of this year – a new look, an upgraded “shopping cart”, and more shipping options.  We will also announce a new service that will be offered in 2008.  This service may change the way you buy and sell on-line.  Subscribers and customers will be given the chance to be involved early and at a discounted price.

Meanwhile, here are some new additions on Camera-Collectors.com: 

Kodak Retina II

Leica M3 Single Stroke

Leitz 5cm f/3.5 Elmar

Leica Ever-Ready Case for M3

“Baby” Rolleiflex 4×4 Sports Model

We currently have no auctions on eBay.  We will have several auctions starting next week.

Thanks for your interest, and your business.
