Leica Elmar 65mm F3.5 Visoflex old lens, with a helicoid ring OTZFO* set. Visoflex lenses can be used with M-series Leicas (including digital) using Visoflex II and III, and are versatile lenses that can even be used with mirrorless cameras and digital SLR cameras due to their long flange back. When converting, you will need a Visoflex conversion adapter, not a Leica M adapter, so please consult with us. Released in 1960. This is one of the lenses released for the Visoflex system, which placed a mirror box in front of the mount of the M-series Leica, a rangefinder camera, to forcibly make it an SLR. Rangefinders are not suitable for telephoto and close-up photography due to their mechanism, so this system was prepared. Among them, the Elmar 65mm is a standard lens capable of close-up photography. The minimum focusing distance using OTZFO is 33cm. (For Leica) super macro photography is possible. And this lens is known for its very sharp image quality, and it depicts details precisely even in close-up shots. We have prepared some sample photos using this lens. Detailed, vivid, and flavorful, it can handle not only close-up shots but also distant views. The first photo is a so-called "straight-out-of-camera" shot without any exposure adjustments, but the color of the red flowers and even the stamens are beautifully captured. Compared to rangefinder lenses, you feel free as if you've grown wings just by not having to worry about the minimum focusing distance. This lens is a special SALE item. After removing mold from the front and rear surfaces, there is a chip-like crack on the rear element, and I wondered if a lens like this would even take decent photos, but as the test shots show, there are basically no problems. After trying hard to find any impact, the only case was that a strange ghost appeared in the upper right corner in backlight from a specific angle in the last photo. The operation is smooth. Condition: Special SALE! A great deal on a Leica macro lens! Appearance: Only scratches on the focus ring, no noticeable dents. Optics: After removing mold from front and rear elements, chip-like crack on rear element. Operation: Tested with α7 and confirmed. Accessories: Front and rear caps, helicoid ring. Stored in a dehumidified storage box. *The evaluation is subjective.
