I bought this lens from a highly regarded Top Seller on Ebay from Japan.
It may be used with all LTM cameras as well as all Leica M models including the modern digital models by using an inexpensive adapter. I have used it on both my M10-R & M10 Monocrom with outstanding results. This is a VERY POPULAR lens with the digital M camera owners as it gives a very detailed rendering with high contrast for a lens of its' age.
I am selling it because I have 2 and I'm keeping the one my father gave me for sentimental reasons.Please refer to the photos for more details.
