Leica Blue Coated Summar 5cm f2 Old Lens Leica L39 screw mount. Please consult us as it can be easily converted to a mount for mirrorless cameras. Released in 1932. This is the model before the famous first Summicron, and is a well-known "quirky lens" or "lens of confusion" for its intense flare and blurry images, as if it's always foggy. Good condition ones will produce circular ghosting when shooting into the light. This is a lens that those who love old lenses should definitely try once. There are various coating variations depending on the manufacturing year, but this is the Blue Coated model with blue coating. It is relatively rare. I have prepared some sample photos taken with this lens. The flare is stronger than you would imagine from its appearance. At the brightest angle and conditions, the shutter speed of 1/8000 is not enough, and the light is large and strong. Conversely, it is easy to intentionally create flare, and even weak light between clouds can produce a flashy effect. This is especially perfect for those who like the style of airy photos. Despite that, it is possible to shoot relatively normally in direct sunlight. The images also have a nostalgic feel. It's not really because of the blue coating, but I think it's interesting in either style. There is no mold, and the scratches on the front element, which is a common issue, are not that noticeable, but there is clouding in the middle element, which creates a large amount of flare. The operation is smooth. The original front cap is also included, which is a plus. This is an affordable listing for a coated model, so it is recommended for those looking for a quirky lens.
