In excellent to mint condition, perfect glass, focus and aperture. Brilliant paint job in sparkling black paint. Only 1000 made and is becoming very hard to get. An absolute bargain compared to it's Leica cousin, which doesn't have as nice bokeh and rendering.

Comes with (all original):
- rear lens cap
- m-adapter (voigtlander)
- case pouch
- front cap
- lens hood

This model focuses perfectly on my M9-P at all distances and is very sharp wide open with beautiful rendering. Price is $1250 paypaled and shipped.

I'll take the lens if still available. Messages sent here and through FM posting.

The cross sections are different, I believe. The Hexar AF/Ltm Hexanon are based on the W-Nikkor 35/1.8, the UC is based in the Summicron, v3 or v4. The M-Hexanon is a totally unique optical design.

Considering I'm not the designer, I can't be 100% sure, but at the end of the day, I don't feel it really matters. Either you love the lens or you don't. Lens design only matters 'so' much, the rest is up to the photographer to make the pictures sing.

Agreed. As long as it takes nice pictures, does anything else really matter?

I wish I could have bought this lens. I'd say the buyer got a very nice deal.

Spot on. I bought this lens from leicashot and I don't care what it's based on. This lens is 100% absolutely amazing.
