Due to recent medium format acquisitions, and in light of the upcoming holiday shopping frenzy, the Chief Domestic Financial Officer has strongly suggested that I might consider thinning out the collection that has now outgrown two storage cabinets.

Upon consideration of continued domestic tranquility, I am offering this Rangefinder Lover's Package to the list before parting it out on ebay.

For Sale, one lot of Olympus rangefinders consisting of:

1. BLACK Olympus 35-SP. Condition: Ex++. This camera would be called "mint" except for some very slight brassing on the upper back near the viewfinder and a couple of tiny nicks at the bottom of the film door. It was CLA'd by Peachtree Camera (where they have an old time rangefinder expert) in Atlanta this past May and not used since. The 42mm f:/1.7 lens is clear and clean, the rangefinder is clean and bright, the spot metering system is functional, and the camera comes with the original strap and an absolute mint original black eveready case.

2. Silver Olympus 35-SP. Condition: Ex+ for cosmetics. The body is near mint, the 42mm f:/1.7 lens is clear and clean and the spot metering system is functional. This camera needs a CLA because of a sticky shutter. It always cocks and fires, but sometimes the shutter does not open. I had this problem with previous 35-Sp's and both times a CLA cured the ill. 3. The very hard to find Olympus 35-RD. Condition: Ex. This camera looks great with no dents or dings. There is a very minor dent/scratch on the "silver nose" filter threads. The viewfinder is bright and clean, the 40mm F;/1.7 lens is clear and clean, and the metering system is functional. This camera also needs a CLA because of a sticky shutter. This one cocks, firs, and opens but takes its own time to close.

Looking at the poor specimens that have recently been on ebay, I have set my price for the entire lot at $350.00 plus actual shipping charges.

I won't go into the many wonderful features and qualities of these cameras because most of you know about them. If you are not familiar with these split/image gems you can read about them at Steve Gandy's cameraquest.com website.

I can email interested parties digital photos if you contact me off list.
