Fully overhauled in 2024, including focus adjustment. Thanks to meticulous servicing, the aperture and helicoid both operate very smoothly. While many squeeze-grip-hood E60 Noctilux lenses have questionable rangefinder coupling, this one has perfect rangefinder coupling due to precise adjustments.
The glass has minor coating wear on an inner element, but this will not affect actual shooting. There are no cleaning marks or other blemishes, and the glass is in pristine condition.
This set includes the hood, UVa filter, matching serial number warranty card, original box, and other accessories, making it an impeccable Noctilux E60. Enjoy the rich, dense rendering characteristic of the Noctilux at wide-open aperture.
