Duclos-cinevised Leica 80-200mm F4 ROM Zoom Lens available in good working condition.

Condition details (see recent photos):

Cosmetically: 8+/10 light signs of use to the finish but with no significant damage to the body, mount or cine-mods. 

Optically: 7+/10 without scratches, large dusts, fungus, separation or oil on the blades. Under bright light normal a haze on a middle element can be seen inside (very common for this model) and a couple faintest of coating marks. 

Mechanically: 8/10 Focus runs very smooth without much drag. Zoom is slightly tighter one direction compared to the other, but the difference is subtle and is completely usable. Aperture/iris are in great working order. Cine-mods are in excellent working condition.

Complete Duclos Cine-Mods® include:

1. Focus Gear 
Our seamless 32-pitch (0,8 module) focus gears are precision machined from solid Black Delrin®, tailored to each lens individually in-house to ensure a no-slip, non-binding reliable fit. Every gear is machined and installed by a skilled technician on an individual basis to ensure a lifetime of accurate operation. No zips, clips, or 3D prints from Duclos Lenses!

2. Front Ring
Our front rings thread directly into the existing filter threads of your lens and provide a common 80mm outside diameter surface for clamp-on accessories as well as a 77mm filter thread on each ring. Precision machined from billet 6061 aluminum and anodized black for a durable finish. Available sizes range from a mere 47mm all the way up to an 82mm Step-Down ring.

3. Front Cap 
80mm Front Caps are made from a durable, protective thermoplastic polymer (top quality Arriflex). Not only do they keep dust and debris away from your precious glass, they're engineered to absorb impact and keep your lenses as safe as possible. 

4. De-Click / Dampen 
Aperture de-clicking is a vital part of the Cine-Mod. A true cinema lens features a step-less aperture that allows fine adjustment without "clicking" between f-stops. Duclos Lenses modifies the aperture movement by removing the "click" mechanism and damping the movement to create a consistent, creamy rotation. We use a high-quality lubricant to ensure a professional feel and operation of your lens.

5. Canon EF mount professionally installed by Duclos.

Vintage Character

The rendering style of this late 1990s Leica R vintage lens maintains a more modern Leica look than its predecessors. Wide open, contrast and saturation is medium, the center is sharp at all apertures, whereas the edges render a touch softer at larger apertures. The Leica color palette from this vintage is fairly balanced but may lean slightly cooler. The overall image is relatively sharp but maintains a rich Leica character.
