For Sale: Voigtlander 28mm f3.5 Color-Skopar in Leica Screwmount.

The lens is in perfect mechanical condition. No wobble or play in the barrel or focusing ring, accurate focus. Glass has no haze, fungus, or scratches, but like most lenses there is some dust inside that doesn't affect images. The lens is sharp and perfectly centered. I'm very picky about my lenses and I return them if they're even a little decentered. This one is perfect.

Includes the screw in hood shown on the lens and the original metal cap that slips over the hood. The cap has some scuffs from being in a camera bag. The lens itself has no scratches or major scuffs on the outside of the lens barrel. Also includes a generic plastic rear cap.

These lenses are impossible to find in this condition.

$850 PRICE REDUCED TO $675 including shipping in the USA.

Superb lens! Many of these are missing the lens hood which you use the cap to attach.
 
The Leica IROOA ( 12571 ) hood clamps on as if it belongs there. Perfect fit.
 
I can even remove the aluminum lens hood. Secret is 4 mg of white petrolatum.

What? The hood on mine unscrews easily.
 
This is a great little lens. Brass body, good rendering and fun to use. I had the 21 LTM and wish I hadn’t sold it. Unfortunately, I just bought a 28 Elmarit-M ASPH from another member a few days ago. Good luck with the sale, someone will get a bargain.
 
I have no issues removing/attaching the hood. Cosina recommends to use the lens cap to do that to prevent bending it.
 
This is a great lens, from my experience.

It's metal, and I wore this and a matching metal viewfinder on my Leica III as the standard lens.

It's performance was outstanding!
