Up for sale is my Leica Black Paint Millennium 35mm Summicron ASPH lens. I've owned the lens for a couple of years and did use it, but only sparingly. Condition in near mint, but for you collectors that prefer new condition this lens isn't for you.
The black painted lens cap has some tiny nicks in the paint finish but no dings. It has never been dropped. I think it's paint rub is due to coming in a out of the bag.
The original black paint hood has maybe three tiny paint nicks. I never used the hood so it must have come that way from previous owner. I put the hood in the box and stored it away.
I also have the original box but no leather case. I have no idea where the case it. It did have one, but when took the box out of storage the case wasn't in there.
The lens itself is in near mint condition. No paint nicks or rubs I can see. Aperture clicks are positive. Focus is smooth. Glass is perfect. Amazingly sharp lens. Rear cap included.
As for price, one sold on ebay for $3800. I'm not sure what the current market value is, so I'll start at $3500 and see what happens. I prefer to sell conus, but will consider international if I know you. But, I won't under declare it's value. It will ship USPS Priority Mail insured for purchased price. For $3500 I'll include the shipping and insurance cost.
I've sold many high ticket items here and on fredmiranda, as well as rff. same user name.
I found my pics of my M's with the lens.
