Mr A Hughes
I decided to trade in a mint condition Leica MP and lens for a CSC system and contacted Wilkinson's to see about a trade in value, as they had been the original supplier. My initial valuation was a very disappointing £1,000 for the body and £300 for the lens, so I contacted other dealers and advertised on ebay and gumtree. The current cost of a Leica MP is £3,300 and second hand lenses are on offer around £700. A lens was suggested to me which may have been of interest and I considered a visit to the nearest shop. Without approval from me, I got an email saying the lens was being transferred to the Carlisle shop, then a further email from Carlisle saying the lens was available for collection. My opinion is that I was being railroaded into getting a very expensive lens that may not have suited my requirements or budget (especially with the very low valuation). I have just sold the MP body for over £1,600 via paypal and await clearance of the funds. I still intend purchasing a Lumix GX8 or GX80 with a selection of lenses and an adapter to use the Leica lens plus another so that I can use my Rollei lenses.
