Leica Elmar-M 50mm f/2.8 (Black)
Serial #: 3936501

Looking for $850, shipping to US included. I will ship International but buyer will have to cover shipping.

This is the latest version. Lens has cosmetic wear: paint slightly worn in some areas and the lens cap. Optically no problems, no scratches, no cleaning marks. No mechanical problems: lens retracts and extends smoothly, aperture clicks are crisp. Comes with box, manual, unsigned warranty.

This was my first Leica lens, the only one I could afford at the time. I later started using a 35mm Biogon, and I've found to use this focal length a lot more. I'm also seeking a faster 50mm, and will trade this lens + cash for a 50mm f/1.5 Sonnar. I wish I could keep this for travel, but it has to go.

Here are some shots of the lens:

No, there is no wobble. It extends and retracts steadily. I will try to make a video later.
 
Extremely interested in this lens. I have been looking for one.

Question: is it 6-bit coded?

I assume it works fine/is retractable on the M9 or M8?

Does it come with a filter?
