RARE M3 Version with extra optics (focus down to .65m/2.2ft/26") GORGEOUS lens elements! VERY little use! CAMERA TESTED! Version 1, Great aperture and focus adjustments, nice goggles. Zero haze fungus, separation, scratches or cleaning marks. Part No. 11106 / SIMWO. 

See test shots above. Taken adapted to an XE2, with no editing.

The body shows almost no signs of use/wear. Viewfinder has a light haze that is not visible when looked through (all of these have some level of fog in the viewfinder. Its a very easy disassembly and cleaning, but I don't want to break the screw paint and it makes no difference when used anyhow)


This is the original! 


and NO, the M6 is not included. it's for reference only. 


Per Ken Rockwell:

This ... 50-year-old lens works marvelously well compared to LEICA's newest lenses.

The LEICA Leitz 35mm f/2.8 Summaron is exceedingly sharp, possibly sharper than the newest 35mm f2 ASPH and 35mm f1.4 ASPH at moderate apertures, has no distortion, and gives the same bold, vivid colors as LEICA's newest lenses.

Not only are the optics superb, nothing feels like a fine LEICA lens from LEICA's heyday. There are no compromises: LEICA is the best. Even the focus tab is solid metal, not the plastic of LEICA's best lenses of today.

The smooth focus ... still feels exactly like the focus of brand-new LEICA lenses, no small feat for any manufacturer.

The magic infinity-focus lock of this Summaron is far superior to earlier lenses like the collapsible 5cm f/2 Summicron, that had to be pressed backwards.

Considering that this 35mm f/2.8 sells used for about one-tenth the price of a new 35mm f1.4 ASPH, and that even with the additional M3 optics shown above it's perfectly compatible with LEICA's newest cameras like the M7, this old lens is an extremely useful tool for today's LEICA photographer.

Regardless of your LEICA, the M3 version shown here calls up 50mm frame lines and works swell.

If you're lucky enough to score the M3 version with the extra optics, it works great with real LEICA cameras, but not with non-LEICA cameras. Non-LEICA cameras put their finders in different places.
