Lot Essay

Condition: 2(ii)
Cosmetic: Good condition, minimal marks to camera body.
Lenses: Clean and clear, minor handling marks.

Around 275 examples of this lens were made circa 1965 and shipped to New York and sold. It was designed specifically for the Visoflex II, IIa and III and never appeared in any Leitz catalogue. Lager suggests that this had 'the smallest production run of all commercially available Leitz lenses'.
