I am selling a Canon 50mm F1.8 for Leica thread mount. This is one of the best examples of this particular lens that I've seen.

The glass is clean, clear, scratch-free, fungus-free, separation-free, haze-free, and oil-free and there are no coating defects. There are a countable number of very tiny dust specks (insignificant). There focus is smooth and accurate. The aperture settings are smooth and the click stops are precise. The iris blades are free of oil.

The cosmetic condition is also superb.

Sold as shown with original Canon lens caps.

Price: $250.00 plus insured shipping

I have this lens and it is absolutely a fantastic lens, very underrated. I use it mostly with a monochrom, where it really shines. It looks like this is a particularly good example. GLWS, Bob.
 
I also have this lens...the earlier all chrome version, but with stellar condition glass.
I always recommend this lens to folks starting out with a "Leica-type" RF setup. As long as the elements are free of issues (e.g., the dreaded haze), this lens will challenge many summicron. In other words, you won't be disappointed.

Price is right on this one, considering its the nicer late version with really good looking glass.

Ok all right I'll buy it hahaha...

I have a 50 sum micron but wanted a 50 that'll travel with my cheaper barnack body I just bought here... Rather than travel with my m6
