LEICA M SUMMICRON 50MM F/2 VERSION II RIGID À PARIS

Leica M Summicron 50mm F/2 Version II Rigid This lens is 58 years old, it was made in 1962 !  I used it mainly on Leica M3 and Leica M9 Monochrom. It is a very interesting lens: sharp, medium range contrast and excellent bokeh. It works really well on black and white film and monochrome cameras, giving a vintage but clean look. I try to describe the lens as well as i can: This specimen is in great cosmetic condition and fully functional but it is not perfect: if looking very closely and carefully: - light signs of use can be seen on the barrel, - a micro bubble or micro dust (very common on these lenses) can be seen inside the lens if looking very closely, - if aiming the lens at certain angle under certain light (very difficult to show on a picture) micro scratches (cleaning marks) are also barely visible in the front element if aiming the lens. These are so thin, i didn't see them until recently os it's very difficult to show on a picture. Of course nothing impacts image quality There are very light signs of normal use, the lens is actually beautiful for its age, in better condition than most alternatives visible on even when asking for more money. No major scratch, no fungus, no haze, no separation, blades move freely, focussing is smooth The lens is sold with a generic third part front cap and the classic dedicated bubble case
