Leica Vario-Elmar-R 80-200 mm f/4 ROM (model 11281, 1998). This is a sensational lens in outstanding condition. The glass looks stellar! The lens was originally purchased in from a collector in Japan with the intent of matching a set of Leitz cinema lenses (it performed amazingly well). The lens was taken to Duclos in Los Angeles and Cine-Mod adapted: a. 80mm Front w/Cap (77mm filter thread). b. Focus Gear (seamless, tailored). c. Aperture De-click (damped movement). d. Mount Conversion (Canon EF, stainless). For purists, note the the modification is reversible. Leica enthusiasts will also appreciate the very favorable manufacturing series (model 11281; 1998). It comes with its original pouch, both Leica caps as well as an Op/Tech USA soft pouch. The lens is also protected with a Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Super Multi-Coated (S-HMC) Glass Haze Filter. My equipment is habitually well cared for and this lens is no exception. Complimentary shipping is included Being sold as part of a retirement sale.
