FOR SALE: Leica M Lenses, Canon Lenses, Zeiss ZE for Canon DSLR, Schneider + Rodenstock, Nikon, Coastal Optics, Olympus Zuiko SHG
Most items with original box, lenses with lens caps, etc, except as noted. Clear and clean glass, known-good lens samples owned by Lloyd.
Local sale (San Francisco Bay Area) preferred so buyer can inspect lens, but can ship FedEx insured. Contact Lloyd. Buyer pays FedEx insured shipping of choice.
- All lenses here are “good samples” as far as my testing has determined; I never keep bad samples.
- Nearly all are with original box and packaging (all that stuff up in the attic, I never throw away boxes).
- My reputation is more important to me than any sale. I would never knowingly sell any gear with an issue. It’s that simple—just not worth it. Local buyers welcome to inspect firsthand.
- All my glass tends to be pristine. If I see any kind of optical marring, I will note it prior to final sale.
- Please note that new lenses have dust inside! Used lenses always have some dust, even after a week or two of use. NONE of my gear has ever gone to Burning Man or anything 1/10 that extreme.
- Overseas is just too much of a hassle, but if payment is made I can hold a lens until buyer visits my area.

Tait S writes (unsolicited):
Lloyd, the Canon 5Ds R arrived today. It was well packed, arrived safely, and the contents of the package were as described. Thank you.
I want to share the condition of the camera with other potential buyers: When you rated this camera as excellent, you did not share what your scale is - "excellent" understates the condition compared to my experience elsewhere. I have purchased an E+ rated lens from bhphotovideo that was in worse condition than this. This camera arrived in better shape than any of my cameras have been in after even one weekend trip outdoors. Actually, with the very minor exception of a couple of hairline scratches on the top LCD readout, I can't tell it was used at all. The pricing of this camera was well below what it would sell for on ebay or other open market, and with confidence that I know the seller and that he has a reputation to maintain.
If you are ever selling anything I want in the future, I will buy with confidence the condition is at least as good as described, if not better. Thank you so much!
