Sold Two Old 35 Leica Wannabes For Cheap

And the cleansing continues. I really don't want my heirs to suffer, so up for your shopping pleasure is:

A Petri 35 with "color corrected super 28" Orikkor lens, a lovely thing with Leica aspirations on a post-war depreciated Yen budget. But seriously, the rangefinder works and isn't even too dim, the shutter works on all speeds and doesn't sound bad. All-in-all and nice useable camera.

A Konica I-type E, which if I read the Wiki article correctly means it was made in late 1950. It has Hexanon f 2.8 50mm lens, does NOT say "Made in Occupied Japan" and is built like a freaking tank, no kidding, no plastic anywhere on this thing. Talk about solid. They really tried to make this look like a Leica -- it even has a collapsible lens.

The shutter could use a service -- the speeds are all way too fast. The rangefinder is dim and slow to respond to focus change.



Prices on these things on the auction site are all over the map. I just want them gone, so how's about $65 for the pair? That includes shipping to anywhere the USPS delivers in insured and priority mail comfort, very solidly packed.

My paypal is ********{moderator deletion} If you live near Ogden, Utah, I can meet you or deliver. DM me for paypal info -- first payment wins!

Questions?

Thanks

Charlie - we regularly ask this of people (remove email or PayPal addresses), and we are fairly constantly having to deal with problematic internet invaders.
If you do have problems with phishing scams and other email related fraudsters, those problems may occur because your email was harvested here and then mis-used elsewhere.

Thanks, I didn't really worry about it but probably should. I appreciate you pointing it out. I changed the other sale as well.

I have a Konica I and there's something about it that I just find charming. I usually don't love cameras with shutter controls on the lens, but that one's an exception. I quite enjoy shooting with it, and the lens produces very nice results. I don't really need another one, but the Petri would be fun to have, and I'm ~local (Salt Lake). I'm planning to go to Ogden weekend after this one. Hmm...I think I talked myself into it. Sending a PM.
