Condition
| Info | Details |
|---|---|
| Optical condition: | Very good condition, showing normal age-related wear on the barrel in the form of slight, isolated scratches. The optics themselves are extremely clean and in fantastic condition. |
| Glass: | Minimal age-appropriate dust is present. There might be 1-2 cleaning marks. On the rear central lens element, characteristic of the Nokton, slight hairline cracks are minimally visible at the edge. This is common for vintage Nokton lenses of this era and these hairline marks, caused by age, are minimal on this example, only discernible upon extremely close inspection and do not affect image quality. |
| Notes: | Extremely rare version for Leica M39. Exceptionally sharp with beautiful rendering and very soft bokeh. Includes original packaging and lens hood. |
| Function: | Fully functional. Focus is very smooth. Aperture ring is slightly stiffer due to long non-use. Aperture blades are free from oil or other contaminants. |
