This stuff needs to go. Any reasonable offer. Needs to be sold as a lot. What I want is for this gear to be used by someone. Ball park value is probably around $50.

Lens: 35mm f/5.6

Lens: 50mm f/2

Lens: 80mm f.4

Lens: Close up attachment lens 6a. Does not seem to fit the 35 or 50 but I may have forgotten something.

Auxillary viewfinder for 35mm and 80mm

There is no camera body, just the lenses and accessories listed. The lenses are in plastic cases and have been well protected. Everything could use a good cleaning.

Why yes, there is at least one. Me!

Unfortunately for your attempt to move the gear, I already have all of those accessories, as well as the auxiliary viewfinder. Using the short and long lenses takes some practice (transferring the rangefinder settings) but these are terrific lenses. If you own one, you should pick up this lot - I imagine I paid more acquiring them separately. Lots of fun, and a great street camera, capable of excellent images. It's really one of my favorite 35s.

Perhaps you might attract more attention with a price and some photos.

I own two IIIc kits, one is the familiar Xenon, the other the Rodenstock Heligon lenses. I suspect that they are NOT interchangeable. So do state which lenses you are offering. ASFAIK both lens sets are equally good.

Okay, a closer look at your posted images shows "Heligon." So...

I'm quite sure that the Rodenstock lenses are not interchangeable with the Xenons. Both are excellent lenses, but the majority of US imports had the Schneiders. If you're interested, you should check in more detail.

These seem to be in very good condition from the photos, and the price is, IMHO, about half of the typical used market.
