For Sale FS: Very Rare Tominon Tomioka 'Kogaku' 55mm f/1.2 m42 Lens

[Norkusa]

I had my fun with this lens, but now its time to let it go. Selling my very rare Auto Tominon Tomioka 'Kogaku' 55mm f/1.2 m42 lens. This lens was manufactured under several different names but this is the hardest version to find with most recent design + UV coating. One webpage I found dedicated to these lenses say only 300 copies were made, but I don't know where they got those numbers from.

Lens is in excellent shape. No scratches on glass, just a little dust inside. Very small scuff on barrel next to 3' mark. No other issues aside from that and looks barely used. Including case (most likely not original) and Tiffen UV filter. Here's a nice mini article + review on the lens: http://fuckyeahlenses-blog.tumblr.com/post/1706808448/tomiokakogaku55mmf12

Asking $1500 no-fee Paypal, shipping included to USA. Would consider trades but only think I'm interested in right now is Leica glass & bodies.
