Leitz Wetzlar Tele-Elmar 135mm f/4 Leica M Mount Lens + 12575 Hood

Up for sale is a pre-owned Leitz Wetzlar 135mm f/4 Tele-Elmar M-mount prime lens, serial #2482011, which comes with a plastic bubble case, a Leitz skylight filter, a 12575 hood, and a front cap which fits over the reversed hood. I don't see any scratches or fungus to the glass, but there is quite a bit of internal haze present, particularly near the front of the lens (easy to see around the edges in photos 14-15), so for optimal image quality it should be professionally dismantled and cleaned. Focusing is smooth, with close focus down to 5 feet; aperture adjustment is likewise smooth with no oil on the 10 aperture blades. Cosmetically, the barrel exhibits minor to moderate overall wear from age and previous use (the plastic case has more heavy wear with lots of scratches and scuffs). Please be sure to fully enlarge the provided photos, and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
