E60 (retractable hood) version of the Noctilux 50mm f/1.0 lens.
The Good:
Front and rear elements are pristine with no damage that I can find anywhere.
No fungus
No haze
Focus is smooth, heavily damped but smooth
Aperture ring clicks nicely and moves smoothly with no grit
The Bad:
Shows signs of use from the previous owners not keeping this tucked away in a drawer. It's been used but not abused
Wear to the barrel and rings as per aforementioned use
Minor dust internal to the lens optics as per a normal lens. Nothing remotely excessive but there are more than a couple specs
The Ugly:
The retractable hood has been removed from the lens
The yellow paint has been removed from the engraved areas on the barrel and replaced with white
Included:
Noctilux lens #3681171
Leitz clip in front plastic lens cap
Leitz E60 UV filter
B+W 4X ND filter, couple specs in the coating on this filter
Leica rear M-mount cap
Lens is available for viewing/shipping from San Diego, CA, USA, postage (with insurance) at buyer's expense.
Asking somewhere in the neighborhood of $4250 for a relatively quick sale.

Lens is no longer available, the owner found a buyer for it elsewhere.
