SN: 1730991

$2000 + $20 shipping within the US(USPS Insured).

I'm going to try and describe this as best as possible and there are bunch of macro photos to go along with this.

Lens:

Very light hairline scratches on the front element, most likely from cleaning, they were there before I purchased this. Barely visible to the naked eye.

Really tiny dots on the rear element, they don't seem to be fungus or bubbles. Doesn't seem to affect image. Maybe someone can enlighten me on what this is.

NO fungus in the lens. NO bubbles in the lens.

Coating looks good.

Blades look good and work normally.

Focus is a little stiffer than most lenses I've used, but nothing alarming.

Goggles:

Small scratch on the rangefinder part of the goggles. Possible fungus in the viewfinder part of the goggles.

What is included:

-Lens with goggles
-Kenko 41mm UV Filter
-B+W Series VII UV Filter(brand-new never really used, but will include this since I have no use for it. It fits over the lens hood attachment.)
-Leica lens cap
-Rear cap

My take:

I've used this lens for about 6 months, on my M3, shot at least two dozen rolls, and haven't had a single problem with it. I'm moving on to an M6 .72(I wear glasses so the M3 has been tough), and am probably moving on to a cron as well.

The pricing seems fair, a lot lower than eBay, and about normal for what I've seen here in the past.

First time posting here, but I've sold on RFF before(X100 just recently and an M8 earlier this year).
