FS: Leica 35 Summicron ASPH Black Paint

Selling this perfect MINT black paint 35 Summicron ASPH. Only 2000 were produced in 2000 and this is a brass lens covered in black paint so it is heftier and more solid than the standard 35 cron.

I have shot this lens on my MP and on an M9 and it is spot on and absolute perfection.

Only selling due to another 35 coming my way soon.

This lens looks so nice on the black paint M8.2, M9 or the black paint MP. It comes with round hood, box, case, and caps. It is mint, almost like brand new.

These are getting hard to come by these days but I will sell this one for what I paid for it - $2500. Check, MO or V/MC through google checkout.

The perfect lens for the M9, right here.

I think I have come to the conclusion that there really are no "keepers" for me. Ha ha. Seriously, it gets so hard when I keep getting to try out the latest and greatest. It kills me. But my rule for the last year has been that as long as I can get back what i paid for something (or close to it) its no biggie. If this doesn't sell, I'll keep it and skip the other 35.

This cron is seriously gorgeous. if I were to keep a 35 cron, this would be the one. I do not think I could go back to a standard 35 cron after owning this one. The feel of it is special. Guess it is due to the brass.

I have this exact lens and couldn t be happier with it. The mount is brass and has a really solid smooth focus. A real pleasure to use .

Last bump. No sale by Wednesday means I keep it and it is off the market. So, if you want it grab it now. Had one offer that was soooo close. Anyone else?

OK, this IS the last bump :) If it is not sold by end of day I will take it as a sign and keep it. But I really want the other lens :) This is truly a fantastic 35 cron. Gorgeous and on the M9, MP or Black M8.2 it looks sooooo nice.

Focus is dead on perfect. I know of a dealer who just sold this exact lens for $3000 and the guy that bought it was upset when he found out I had one for $500 less.

Lens, case, hood, box...all included. Hard to find these days. Last chance :)

Great lens, even considered a collector in some circles. The brass, painted lenses really shine. If I didn't already have a 35 lux asph, I'd be all over this.
