CLA'd - Leica Summicron M 35mm f/2 lens, pre-ASPH, V2

Description: Leica 35mm summicron (f/2) version 2 (pre ASPH) CANADA About this lens: This lens is considered by many to be the original ‘King of Bokeh.’ I purchased this lens earlier this year on eBay from Japan. Both Advance Camera (in PDX) and Leica in Bellevue, WA have inspected this lens and said it is in perfect working condition and has excellent quality optics. No haze, no fungus, no dust. The lens is immaculate. comes with lens caps for front and rear and original lens hood ($200-300 alone and difficult to source). The lens hood has a tiny dent, does not affect performance. The lens is in good visual condition. Not thrashed, but it is a 50 year old lens at this point so it doesn’t appear brand new. I tested the lens’ critical sharpness at Advance Camera PDX using this crazy laser calibrator machine and it was 99% sharp, not clinical like a modern lens, just a different look (hence, KOB). Really an excellent lens. In no rush to sell it so just putting feelers out at asking price. Sample photos were shot on my M6.
