Learn from my experiences and stop lens lusting for these ultra expensive or rare lenses👍ĭo you have any camera gear related regrets? I’d love to hear about it! Have an awesome day guys! 😎📸❤️👍 Please note, this is not the M mount version that I’m talking about. So in that sense I don’t really regret it but again I really didn’t spend as much time as I should have with it. It didn’t really stand out to me, that’s why I sold it! Not worth $8K maybe not even $2K 😂 Oh one more secret just for you guys…I love Leica and I think the lens was good but not great for my purposes. It’s not like I have an endless bank account 😎👍 But now you know how I was able to pay for my M8!! 😍 I gotta work, I gotta hustle man. My only regret is I didn’t get to spend more time with this legendary lens before I sold it. I’m glad I doubled my original estimate and made some money. Listen, I’m glad the new owner was happy with the purchase. This was one of my camera selling mistakes 😢 The price of this lens on eBay now is ridiculous from like $8K and up. I sold it to him and I’ve never seen another 35mm f/1.4 Summilux R that I could afford in fourteen years! 😢 I honestly stay away from selling overseas due to high risk of fraud but this person was VERY persistent and everything checked out. It was a couple of days before the end of the auction when an overseas buyer in South Korea offered me twice the price at $2K!! My R collection was nearly complete at this point but the M8 was calling me so I put this lens up for sale in 2010 I think I tried selling it for $1000 but there were no USA takers. The lens is the rarely seen Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux in R mount 😍 This was the ROM version and I got it for around $800 in 2008 It’s a very nice camera but nothing really special in today’s world. Ok so in this pic, I’m holding a Canon EOS 30D which is an 8mp DSLR that you can get very cheap these days. Good morning awesome war torn camera geeks! Today’s #flashbackfriday post is from #2008 and this is from one of my #regret files 😢 A little bit of a long read but if you love Leica you may find it interesting 😎👍
