Up for auction is my Leica Summicron 50mm f2.0 lens. This is the most recent version (Non-APO) with the built in lens hood. Lens was made in Germany.

This lens works flawlessly and produces beautiful results. I am a freelance photojournalist who has used this lens daily and it has held up well to daily usage for years but shows obvious signs of wear because of such. Images from this lens have been printed in the Wall Street Journal, NY Daily News and the NY Post. There is absolutely no question about the results this lens produces. It is an ideal lens for any photographer.

I purchased this lens over eight years ago. About seven years ago it was dropped on concrete and suffered some deep scars on the barrel however the glass was perfectly intact and unharmed. It was sent to Leica NJ and repaired.

Approximately two years ago this lens started to develop a wobble where the front end was ever so slightly loose though usable. It was sent again to Leica NJ and received a full CLA. It is now in perfect working condition.

This lens has significant signs of use from daily use by a working photographer, it has wear on the barrel and some internal dust but works smooth and produces beautiful results.

I am selling because I have upgraded to an Aspherical lens. Comes with rear lens cap and front UV filter only. Shipping is via USPS. Signature will be required. United States buyers only. Item sold as-is, guaranteed in working condition, no returns.
