This 19mm wide angle lens is in stunning cosmetic condition showing barely any signs of use at all. See large photos above to assess the condition. There are just a few tiny marks here and there.
Functionally the lens is very good: Focus is smooth, the aperture blades are clean and move freely. The lens glass has no separation, fungus, scratches. Just the odd fleck of dust. Some light white spotting is visible not he interior black painted surfaces of the lens body- this is normal for these lenses.
This quality ens dates to 1978 and was made by Leitz Canada back in '78. It comes in it's original box with matching serial number, complete with lens caps and hood, also in new-like condition. You'll be hard pressed to find a cleaner more complete example.
Ideal for the serious collector. International Postage will be by express courier with tracking and insurance.
The original box is in good shape and has its foam insert. One corner of the box has separated, might need to be taped at some point.
Special Note for Cameras and related items. Please Read:
Please look at the images carefully before you bid. I take many detailed images of each item so you can visually judge the cosmetic condition and see if there is any obvious damage (larger versions of the images are below: scroll down) Cameras and vintage photographic equipment is tested where possible (basically) and briefly described, any faults detected are mentioned: however unless stated no cameras have been tested with film- or professional diagnostic equipment.
These items come from my personal collection- collected over the last 35 years.
Given the advanced age of this gear it is sold AS IS and AS DESCRIBED. I cannot offer any extended warranty on items from my collection that are 30 to 140 years old. Such vintage items are only described and their most basic and important features noted. Tiny imperfections, flaws, specks of dust etc- may occur and not be described or mentioned. Issues that can only be found when film is run through a camera may not show up. Therefore these sales are final- there is no warranty offered.
I will accept returns if the items are significantly different than described- but you must contact me immediately after you receive the goods. Please remember this when you place your bid.

International buyers: All items are carefully packed and posted via registered, tracked airmail. Delivery estimates are estimates only: occasionally there are delays clearing International customs etc, that are completely beyond my control. I use the best options to post that are reliable- but also affordable to you. I will happily combine postage on multiple items, and answer any questions you may have regarding shipping to your country. I have shipped cameras all over the world and have hundreds of happy customers going back nearly 20 years. Ob\ver the years I have shipped items all over the world safely. This is a hobby only for me but I take care to make sure everything runs smoothly.
