【Listing Ends Soon】 【Ultra Rare】Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 (7-Element / Late German Production) 3591085 Thank you for viewing. This is a Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 (the so-called "7-element") lens, a late-production German model. The serial number is 3591085, a rare lot from the final period of the Wetzlar-made 7-element lenses. While Canadian-made versions occasionally appear, the German-made version, known as the "King of Bokeh," is rarely found in good condition on the used market. Even at Kitamura Camera, a model in rather poor condition is sold for around 450,000 yen, reflecting the recent price surge and scarcity of this model. ■ Condition (Very Good) ● Optics: Only a few specks of dust, no haze, mold, or balsam separation. → It's rare to find a 7-element lens with such high transparency. ● Coating: Good on both front and rear elements. → There is very little of the coating deterioration or unevenness typical of this era. ● Aperture Blades: No oil stains, and the shape is beautiful. → The operation is smooth, and it's a very good example for an aged lens. ● Helicoid: Smooth with appropriate torque. → No catching or play, feels like a serviced lens. ● Infinity Focus: Focuses perfectly on M-series bodies. → No rangefinder adjustment needed, you can use it with confidence. ※ The previous owner may have had it overhauled.
