One of the rarest lenses made for Leica: the Primoplan 1.9/5cm in original, rangefinder-coupled M39 mount and meter scale. Very sophisticated and solid brass construction. The lens can be collapsed to small dimensions, protruding only 23mm in the front when mounted on a Leica camera, note the engraving 'Allemagne' (Germany in French). The offered example is in very good condition, with some flakes on the front element, completed by a rear cap and a short metal hood. This is a rare opportunity for collectors.
