Leica 35mm f2 Apo Summicon-SL, Hood 4788739
This Leica 35mm f2 APO-Summicron-SL Asph Lens, #4788739, is in fair condition with heavy handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (7+). The focus ring is smooth, the autofocus and aperture function properly, and the glass is clean and clear with no haze, marks, or fungus. There are a few faint specks of dust inside, but they do not affect image quality. This lens includes a Leica lens hood and front & rear caps. Please refer to the photos for details.
