Leica 35mm f2 Summicron 8 element, Hood 1672228
This Leica 35mm f2 Summicron M Lens (8-Element, Silver), #1672228, is in good condition with some handling wear. I rate it cosmetically an (8+). The focus and aperture rings are smooth, the aperture functions 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. It is for Leica screw mount/thread mount (LTM) and other E39 bodies. Please refer to the photos for details.
