Up for sale is a highly demand ALPA Kern-Marco-Switar 50mm/f1.8 lens, it's most likely the best 50mm lens ever made, it has metal coating and APO glass.

The overall condition is good, no dings or dents on the body, glass has no scratches, haze or fungus, but there're some fine cleaning marks on the front and rear elements.

Aperture blades has some tiny sign of oil, but it works fine, snappy and clicks on each stop.

Focus is really smooth without any hesitation.

The lens comes with original front cap, which has some marks on it. There's no hood or rear cap.

The sale also include a like new in box Metabones ALPA to Leica M mount adapter, which is rangefinder coupling from 1m (about 0.8m) to infinity, and also adjustable to identical cameras. This adapter sells for $299 on fleabay.

Another bonus is a like new in box Metabones ALPA to M4/3 adapter, very solid made, great quality. This adapter sells for $149 on fleabay.

The total package(lens+2 adapters) asking for $1800, shipping and PayPal fee not included.
