Leitz Summarit 5cm f1.5 LTM w/extras
Fantastic copy of this lens, dating to 1956. Coated optics, very faint cleaning marks. No effect on the images. No haze or fungus - this lens was cleaned and lubed by Youxin earlier this year. Focus is smooth, aperture blades clean. Dreamy wide open, and very sharp stopped down to f4+. A jewel. The cleanest Summarit I’ve ever seen. Optically, it reminds me very much of my 50 Summilux V1.
Comes with original caps, and I will include a 41-43 step-up ring (because good luck finding any 41mm filters…), a B+W UV filter (because I didn’t want any marks on the front element), and a short hood which does a pretty good job on this lens. Also will include a nice leather Leica lens case - it’s not period correct, but it is nice!
$499 includes PayPal fees & insured shipping. Conus only please.
Leitz Elmar 3.5cm f3.5 LTM
Maybe the tiniest lens Leica ever made, this one dates to 1940. Uncoated optics. Very very light cleaning marks. Very light haze that doesn’t seem to affect the images. Focus is smooth, but the aperture tab is a bit stiff. This lens is usable as is, but you might want to get a CLA at one point in the future. Hence the lower price.
This lens has a great old school charm shot wide open, and gets nice and sharp stopped down. Comes with front and rear caps (both aftermarket). No box.
Asking $320 includes PayPal fees & insured shipping. Conus only please.
