[EXPIRED] CLOSED - Two (2) Hexanon's (with a twist)

[Rich M]

Hey everyone....

I am putting up for sale two marvelous Hexanon lenses.....the classic 40/1.8 AND the dreamy 50/1.7.

These two lenses are BOTH in really good condition.....super clean glass (no cleaning marks, haze or fungus), NO dust (and believe me, I look carefully), really sound aperture click stops and silky smooth focus rings. Original caps.

Lots of people own these....lots of people here......but I think these would be a really nice addition to anyone's new kit that they might be putting together.

I would like to get $60 (or more) for these.

So WHAT'S the twist????

The twist is that I want to donate the proceeds of this sale to Amin in gratitude for putting together and running this site.

The winner of this sale will make a payment to here:

https://www.mu-43.com/showthread.php?t=460

So that's easy right....buy two really nice lenses for a reasonable price??

WEEEELLLLLL.....not actually THAT easy.....see because I think these two lenses are worth MORE than $60....a lot more. So you can send me a PM with your bid and I will let everyone know what the current bid is (no names....just the $$ amount).

Bidding closes on Saturday 4/10.

Remember....proceeds of this sale do not go to me......they will go to the mu-43.com

Go for it guys.....oh......FREE shipping.

We had an initial bid for $60...

AND now have a bid for $70

Thanks everyone for looking......

Remember......FREE shipping.

 

[Rich M]

No new bids.....we're still at $70.

At this price, you could gift these to someone else.....maybe someone who is just starting off in photography.

They're a fun little pair.......make a bid. :smile:

[cambuff82]

Can these be used on the Lumix G1 with adapter. If so it would fully manual operation, am I correct.?

 

[Streetshooter]

Yes, with adapter. You can use Amode by setting the fstop and m mode.
Great glass for sure. The 40 is better than the Summicron or Nokton.

 

[Rich M]

Well folks.....we broke into triple digits.....

We are now at $110............thanks so much.....

Looks like we're winding this baby down.....

We have ended up with a very generous bid of $140!!!

Thank you everyone for looking.....and bidding.

I will be contacting the winner via PM.......ad as soon as Amin lets me know he has received the donation, I will be shipping out the lenses.

Thanks to the winning bidder......but really I want to thank Amin for putting together a really wonderful place for people to get together.

Running a website like this takes money and TIME....both of which Amin has given.....and given again.

Thanks Amin......
