FS: Leica 21mm Elmarit Lens, Black

[stephengilbert]

A mint condition copy of the now discontinued 21mm Elmarit M. Latest six-bit coded version, including box, leather pouch, caps, and hood. A very nice lens, especially on an M8. No marks inside or out; looks like new.

I'm not sure if it works in your favour (maybe I'm missing something..), but the ebay listing shows

Lens w/ 6-bit and hood + Leica 21mm viewfinder + Leica 55mm UV + B+W 55mm 1.8 ND + free shipping...

I am merely listing the e-bay item in the link, that is all.. I hope I don't get flamed for this..

Scott,

I think it's just relevant information. If you're going to use the lens on an M8, the UV/IR filter is essential, and they're about $100. (If the buyer doesn't want it, he or she can deduct $100.) I'm sorry; I thought that was the original offer. I've corrected the ad, and apologize. The lens with UV/IR filter is $3250; without filter, it's 3150.

I don't know what a plastic Leica VF is worth, just that I wouldn't want one. My lens includes a hood and hood cap.

$3200 delivered with Leica UV/IR filter; $3100 without.

Don't make me go to eBay; I don't like it there.

Do photos make a difference? If you're interested, please make an offer or let me know. If it isn't sold by Saturday, I'm going to list it on eBay.
