Description
-Serial #1696774
-Serial #1696774
EARLY STEEL RIM version with the steel from rim against the silver chrome body
-Made Wetzlar, Germany 1959
-Leica M bayonet mount
-M2/M4 version, no goggles
-Focuses down to 0.7 meter
-Chrome finish
-Dual scale feet/meter red/black focusing scale version with focusing tab
This is a wonderful lens as it is the little brother to the famous 35mm f2 8 element.
Looks identical but a fraction of the price for 1 F stop. Actually a great lens optically and some feel that having 6 elements over the 8 element F2 is a sharper, better lens ( less refractive light )
A fine lens, Great on a M2 or M4 but also working perfectly on all other M mount camera
Undervalued and just a fantastic lens in every respect!
