Summicron 2/35mm black paint M3 First Version *
One of the rarest black paint Leica M lenses! An 8-element M3 Summicron with black painted aluminium barrel and brass mount. Only a few examples of this rare version are known to exist, this is the second one we've seen in 20 years! The lens is in excellent cosmetic condition, with very good optics; a matching, very rare black paint aluminium front cap is included. It is a rare opportunity to find a matching 35mm Summicron for the early black paint M3 cameras with serial number 959XXX!
