Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH. in Leica screw mount, sold exclusively in Japan. This example is from the 3.86 million serial number range, manufactured in 1999. Leica product code 11608.
Made in Germany. Finished in beautiful matte silver chrome. An ASPH lens that can be enjoyed on a Barnack Leica. A beautifully crafted lens with a superb finish.
Its modern design should look especially good on a Leica IIIg. Rangefinder coupled. The minimum focusing distance is 1m. Filter size is E39.
It has a reassuringly solid feel, weighing 325g on our scale. That is almost the same as the Lady Summilux.
In like-new condition. No signs of use can be seen, and the exterior is very beautiful. The glass is free from haze and cleaning marks, with excellent clarity.
All functions work properly. Rangefinder coupling is good. In our test shooting, focus was good around wide open, while the focus position shifted backward as the aperture was stopped down.
Comes with the genuine front cap.
