Hello everyone.

I'm selling from my collection an amazing and ULTRA rare 35mm Summilux Asph Version I Titanium, only 2000 ex limited edition worldwide. Serial number: 3748267 made in 1996 by the Leica Factory.

It is an amazing and very very rare lens. Outstanding picture quality. One of the best 35mm lens ever made on this planet. The titanium finish is just a masterpiece, and looks incredible on any M camera, one of the most beautiful lens ever made by Leica . The lens is really heavy. Very high quality build. totally different that the classic 35 lux Asph lenses.

This lens is optically MINT 5/5 front and back. Always protected by the filter since the first day of use. The body is NEAR MINT (4,5/5) /Just few minor marks due to the lens hood fixation ring/... The focus ring is smooth. And the aperture ring is just a pleasure.

Here the pictures as a slideshow : http://img339.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=65492973.png

Important precision : NO BACK/FRONT FOCUS visible WITH THE M8/M9. The lens works perfectly at all aperture with the M8/M9.

The lens comes in box with the lens Hood original Leica and his leica front cap, Leica classic front and back caps and the leica leather case.

PRICE : 4000 EUROS via paypal / 3860 EUROS via bank transfer
I accept best offer too.

The price includes worldwide shipping cost and eventual paypal fees.


The lens will be sent from France via Colissimo international (+/-7 days to arrive worldwide) with tracking number after the payment.

Don't hesitate if you have any question or if you need more pictures.

Many thanks to all leica lovers. :salute:

Have a nice week end.

Is this the super-rare solid titanium lens that was part of the titanium M7 kit, or the titanium "finish" lens? If it's the latter, it's not that rare.

Sorry, I think you're wrong, there weren't a leica 35mm Asph pure titan with the 50 years Leica M7. It was a 50 Lux Asph, and there were a 28 cron asph and a 90 cron asph.
In fact, this edition of the Titan M7 pack is very very rare...

This 35 was made in limited edition of 2000 ex.

After that, it is just a question of words...2000 ex limited, it's rare to me.
Anyway, the 35mm Lux asph is already rare in classic version on the market...So...

Maybe not ultra rare, it is hard to calculate how rare is a lens anyway...

Thanks for your interest.
