LEICA Leitz Elmar 50mm f/2.8 Collapsible L39 Screw Mount Lens

LEICA Leitz Elmar 50mm f/2.8 Collapsible L39 Screw Mount Lens. You are viewing a very well looked after Leica Elmar 50mm f2.8 collapsible lens. As a professional photographer I can tell you the optical quality of this lens is very good, and the body is in fantastic shape with very little signs of use for a lens that is 64 years old! There is slight haze on the lens which is to be expected of a lens this old, and has not in my opinion affected the image quality. There is no fungus and all mechanisms move very smoothly.

The photos listed are a very fair and true representation of the real thing with no editing applied. I absolutely love this lens, it is a piece of history and would love it to go to someone who will love and cherish it on their camera and appreciates the optical perfection it it, preferably over someone who will just stick it on a shelf because it looks cool.
