Description
A very remarkable prototype Summaron 2.8/35mm from a small batch of 10 experimental lenses made in 1958. The focusing ring is equipped with click stops at 1.5m and 3m for snapshot-style shooting — a feature not present on any production Leica M lenses. The barrel also shows an unusual chrome plating.The lens is preserved in near-mint condition, with very good optics. Included with this lens is a written expertise from Mr. Ottmar Michaely from 2006. A highly unusual prototype illustrating an experimental approach to rapid focusing for snapshot photography. SN: 0000249
