Summilux-R 35mm f1.4. 3-cam version. This particular unit is the 3,270,000th produced and was manufactured in 1993, the year before its official release. The product code from Leitz is 11337. It has a filter diameter of E67 and comes with an integrated hood. The minimum focusing distance is 50cm.
This lens is highly esteemed for its ability to produce beautiful images wide open. It excels at close-up shots as well as distant ones, and performs admirably in both front and backlit conditions. It never fails to impress with its stunning rendering every time you take it out for a test shoot.
Comes with the original box, warranty card, inspection certificate, manual, and leather case. The original box is also in excellent condition, making it suitable for collectors.
There are very minor scratches on the exterior of the hood, and slight black chrome wear can be seen on the outer circumference of the barrel and filter threads. However, overall, this lens is in very good condition with minimal signs of use.
Fully serviced in April 2024, the operation of each component has been tuned to provide just the right amount of torque. While the focusing action of the Summilux-R 35mm lenses tends to become heavy over time, this lens operates very smoothly.
The glass is also very clear with no visible haze or noticeable cleaning marks. While there are minor coating imperfections on the middle element when viewed under strong LED light, they are unlikely to affect image quality.
Sample images have been posted in the gallery. The rendering, with a balanced blend of sharpness and softness, is characteristic of this lens.
