Hi,
Now that I have gotten the ZM Sonnar, I feel that I can safely let go of my other 50mm F2 lenses. Prices do not include paypal fees and shipping, prefer paypal and shipping to CONUS only.
Leitz Wetzlar 50mm F2 Summicron DR, without goggles - $700
I've been shooting it with the Sony NEX5 camera, and the dual-range close focus feature was just what I needed. There are light scratches around the rim of the front glass, some dust, and rub marks on the chrome body. Comes with the front lens cap, but some of the padding in the cap had came off. No original back cap, but this plastic thing I use to protect it. Please checkout additional images at: http://photobucket.com/50-cron-DR
Voigtlander 50mm F2 Heliar, 10th Anniversary Edition - $600
This is a limited edition lens, only 600 were made. It tried to mimic the classic collapsible design, but this lens is not collapsible. I find the rendering to be similar to the summicron. Everything is included: original boxes, instruction, caps, hood, and screw-to-M-mount adapter. I didn't use it much because of its minimum focus distance of 1m.

BTW, I included shots using the flashlight test (as described by Ken Rockwell), which makes the glass look much worse than it actually is. I have taken photos with both lens and have never noticed any IQ issues due to the scratches or dust on the lens.
