I have my super nice Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Summaron f/3.5 3.5 cm L39 lens set available for purchase (SOONC).
SN 1282915 (1955)
6 elements, 4 groups, 10 aperture blades.
The auction also includes a Summaron 3.5 cm Bakelite Lens Case (BCDOO) in near mint condition.
A Leica Leitz A36 1 Yellow Clamp-on Chrome Filter (FIGRO/13005 Yellow 1) in mint condition.
A Leica Chrome Metal Front Lens Cap (Slip-on) in near mint condition. I believe it is ORVZO/14025.
A metal rear lens dust cap that may be an original Leica cap, but there are no markings.
I purchased this lens (and Leica IIIg) from the original owner's family. It belonged to Mr. Kenyan Cobean (Ken). A brief history of Mr. Cobean is presented below.
It is in this field (photography and writing) that he has shared the most with us. His work has appeared in over 200 American and foreign publications and books, including Time, Life, National Geographic, Newsweek, and New Mexico Magazine. He has been awarded numerous awards and is one of the few photographers in history to have received both the bronze and silver medals at the Eastman Kodak World and Its People international competition at the 1964-65 World's Fair. One of his most impressive photographic adventures took place in the 60's, behind the Iron Curtain of East Berlin. Kenyon smuggled film and a camera in and out from under the noses of the fascist Stasi and captured on film the lives of the oppressed East Berliners for all the world to see.
*Please check out my detailed pictures of this classic lens set—only one previous owner: film and digitally tested, smooth focus, and positive aperture clicks. Picture #9 shows the effects of the haze or cloudiness. It is a 70-year-old classic Leica lens. It will need to be serviced to remove the haze for absolute clarity. The condition of the chrome is a 10 out of 10, which is rare for this model.
***Under a bright LED flashlight, I see some cloudiness or haze inside: minimal dust, no fungus or mold.
I use this lens on my Fujifilm X-T2 with the proper adapter (see pic #10).
