FOR SALE - Leica binoculars, camera and iPhone 4


I have the following items for sale.

Four pairs of Leica binoculars (all brand new) -
- Leica Ultravid 10x32 BR
- Leica Ultravid 10x25 BR
- Leica Ultravid 8x20 BL
- Leica Geovid 8x42 BRF-M
Leica D-Lux 2 compact camera (second-hand)
iPhone 4 (second-hand)

Read on for more details.

LEICA BINOCULARS

All the binoculars are brand new and have never even been opened from their respective protective bags they come in (boxes opened to check that everything is present and correct). They originate from Leica Germany (for whom I used to work as a freelance consultant). They are not the current lines but the last but one version of what is available in shops and online at the moment (and you're unlikely to find any of these models new any more, and they are all rare second hand).

Price includes insured delivery by courier in the UK.
Non-UK I will give you a quote for additional delivery costs.

Email me if interested (please, no time wasters!)
