An extremely rare, last version of the famous ultra-fast Zunow 1.1/5cm, in all-black finish and with a more streamlined, compact design. Only a few of these special lenses are known to exist. The offered example no.7001 is the first lens of the series and is in beautiful, almost mint condition, with good optics (small scratch on the rear element - not affecting the photos). It comes with an original front cap. A true landmark in post-war Japanese optical design, it is a prized piece for discerning collectors and a highly sought-after lens among photographers.
