I have a few lenses for sale to offset some recent purchases. Prices including shipping within US and PayPal fees.
1. 75mm APO Summicron user condition [$1550]
This 75mm Summicron in user condition. Body exhibits plenty of wear but optics are in excellent condition. There is oil on the back side of the aperture blades. The lens could use a CLA to remove oil but it is perfectly usable in current condition.
This lens is 6-bit coded. Includes original front cap and after-market rear cap.
Additional photos here, including a sample images at infinity and close focus, both at f2.0:

I have been converting a number of lenses for use on Leica cameras. I ended up with a few duplicates so the following lenses have all been converted to LTM or M mount:
2. Ultron 50/2 Prominent to LTM converted [$170]
This Prominent mount Ultron 50mm f2 was converted to Leica screw mount using a Russian Industar mount. Due to the mount used, the lens rotates during focusing. The modification allows focusing closer than the 0.7m rangefinder minimum focusing distance. This is useful for live view focusing.
The lens is missing one aperture blade. Given that the lens still has 14 aperture blades, this has minimal effect. The front element has a few light scratches/cleaning marks.
Generic rear screw mount cap included.

3. Voigtlander S Skopar 50mm f2.5 Nikon RF converted to M mount [$280]
This Voigtlander S Skopar 50mm f2.5 was originally in Nikon rangefinder mount. It has been converted to M mount by using a Pixco Nikon/Contax RF mount adapter. The lens has been modified to add the rangefinder coupler. Lens is coded to 50mm Summarit but my M240 is not recognizing the coding. The pits for the 6-bits may not be correctly aligned.
Included are the original hood, front cap and a generic M mount rear cap.

4. W-Nikkor 3.5cm f1.8 Nikon rangefinder modified to Leica M mount Copy#1 [$625]
This Nikon 3.5cm f1.8 that was originally in Nikon rangefinder mount. This was the first Nikon 3.5cm/1.8 lens that I modified. Modification required modifying the mount of the rear lens element to ensure it clears the Leica rangefinder cam. The original rangefinder coupler was removed and replaced with a coupler for Leica M. The mount used is a Pixco Nikon/Contax RF to Leica M mount.
In the process of disassembling the rear element I scratched it. So there is a long scratch on the rear element. It is on the outer side of the element so it has minimal effect on photos. The aperture blades have some wear and a little bit oil.
Included are a generic M mount rear cap and a generic 43mm front cap.
