Leitz Wetzlar SUMMAR 5cm 50mm f/2 lens Leica L39 LTM 39mm (READ)

s/n: 314627 (1936)

A Summar lens for cleaning

5cm f/2 ‘fast’ lens for early Leicas

Overall, in good cosmetic condition with some cosmetic wear but still most of its chrome intact

Aperture shows 6 blades, with the familiar hexagon diaphragm

1936 manufacture date

‘Ernst Leitz Wetzlar’, Made in Germany

Front surface shows cleaning marks (light scratches)

This was used as an enlarging lens, and like most of those it has sat in a dark room with moisture, so it has plenty of fungus inside – as shown

Smooth focus down to 3.5 feet, measured in feet

Stops down, readily, to f/12.5 (‘Continental’ Stops, not ‘International’)

Comes, as seen, with free insured shipping in the UK
