I'm here putting up three lenses for sell:
1: Zeiss Biogon 35/2.0 ZM, black, original hood included
2: Voigtländer Nokton 35/1.2 ASPH v2
3: Leica Summilux-M 35/1.4 ASPH (non FLE of course)
Conditions: Bank transfer using BIC/IBAN codes (I'm not interested in throwing a lot of money at PayPal), Payment in EUR for anyone living in a euro country, payment in SEK (Swedish Krona) for anyone else, if the lens is not as described I'll take it back if returned within a week from receiving it and if the same condition as when received, the prices include insured and signed for shipping.
1:
...... in as good condition as it can be for a S/H copy: It looks like new, it feels like new and the glass elements are free from any imperfections. I have used it during a couple of days only.
The lens comes boxed together with a the original hood, its box and everything that was in it when delivered. I'll also include a standard B+W UV filter, not in perfect, but OK, condition for use when shooting by the sea and such situations.
I have carefully evaluated the lens and found nothing wrong with it. I'm selling as I found out I prefer a bigger and heavier and somewhat faster lens. So it goes. Some images (sorry for the dust particles):
The price is EUR 700 (or SEK 6.150) net to me (the EUR 30 shipping is included).
2: Voigtländer Nokton 35/1.2 v2
This is the latest and greatest of the new super fast Cosina Voigtlander lenses. In close to perfect condition and perfectly functioning. Great look, perfect lens elements with one exception, clean aperture blades, smooth focusing and positive aperture ring clicks. The imperfection? On day two of owning the lens I managed to cause a superficial minor damage to the top layer of the front element coating. This doesn't matter but you should know about it.
This is the copy I used for my on-line review of the lens at CV 35/1.2 II - a first look: Sony NEX Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review. This will probably be the single most well documented lens you'll ever buy. And a good buy it is!
The front element coating damage (a strong word) is my fault. When testing the lens for flare (with and without hood) I screwed up and the hood came off leaving the marks on the coating. As I have performed IMA-test checks both before and after the accident I know it doesn't matter; the results were the same, as expected but now also verified.
Anyway, this copy performs and it is good looking. It comes boxed and included in the deal is the original hood. Here are a couple of images:

The price is EUR 1.100 (or SEK 9.670) net to me (the EUR 35 shipping is included).
3: Leica Summilux-M 35/1.4 ASPH, black, pre-FLE
This is a great copy in about perfect condition. Great look, perfect lens elements, clean aperture blades, the focusing ring is a dream and the aperture rings works as supposed. The lens comes with box, caps, a pouche, original hood with cap.
I have carefully evaluated the lens and it works exactly as supposed. A very very good looking copy in optically and mechanically superb condition.

The price is EUR 2.950 (or SEK 25.925) net to me (the EUR 35 shipping is included).
The Summilux-M 35/1.4 makes the most beautiful images off all 35mm lenses I have tried. Here is a stupid comparison between the well known, and good performing, FA31/1.8 Limited, the CV35/1.2v2 and the Summilux:
Summilux-M 35/1.4 ASPH or Summilux-M 35/1.4 ASPH FLE? I'm selling the version without the newer floating rear element group. These lenses perform the same ""sharpness"-wise:
.
The current FLE version is very much more expensive, it gets rid of the focus shift associated with this lens, the focusing ring is not silk smooth any more and the bokeh is significantly less smooth. Sometimes you see the pre FLE version for sell where the seller claims it has no focus shift. I'm sorry, but that is simply not the case; the focus shift comes with the design. There are no magic copies floating around having no focus shift and super performance. This is all about how the lens focus cam is adjusted for use with rangefinder cameras. Depending on exactly how it is adjusted the user will notice focus shift (causing misfocused images when stopped down) in different situations.
