Description: Up for your consideration is this Legendary and Extremely Desirable Rare #11870 Z, Leica 35mm f/1.4 Black Summilux-M Lens w/Hood/Matching SN# Box/caps. (the M6 is not included)From Ken Rockwell- This LEICA SUMMILUX 35mm f/1.4 was the world's fastest ultra-speed wide-angle lens at its introduction in 1960.This 35mm SUMMILUX is the lightest Leica 35mm lens I've ever measured. Today's lenses use a lot more glass, while other older, slower 35mm lenses use more brass instead of aluminum. Not only is it tiny and the world's first ultra-speed wide-angle lens, it is still the world's smallest professional f/1.4 lens of any focal length. This classic 35mm SUMMILUX remains popular today due to its tiny size, ultra-high speed and complete freedom from geometric distortion and viewfinder blockage. With Leica, size and weight are everything. Price never matters. Made in Midland, Canada. This lens is in outstanding used condition. Circa: 1970 and only VERY very few Z SN# lenses made. Designed by the famed Leica lens designer Dr, Walter Mandler. 7 elements in 5 groups, 10 blades. Classic near-symmetrical double-Gauss design. Single coated in early purple/blue. Lens comes with original front and rear caps, rare vented lens hood with a Leica UV filter and Matching OEM box. This rare Leica M-mount lens has a cult following! No fungus, some light specs/dust, no coating loss. Glass is very clean to the naked eye, and very much above average with a bright LED light. This is a very early coated Lens is in Excellent working order. Aperture and focus controls works smoothly, aperture blades are clean/dry with no oil. This is your chance to own one of the best Leica lenses ever made and an impossibly hard to find Serial Number variation.
