[ translate ]

Very nice and rare special soft-focus tele lens Leitz for the Leica 35mm rangefinder cameras with M39 mount. It's the 90mm F: 1. 9 F: 2. 2 Thambar, factory code TOODY. The serial number of this lens is very very low, 226320 (c. 1934) . It has rangefinder coupled mounts. For it's age (nearly 90 years! !) it's in great condition, as is possible to see from the pictures. With light signs, some of which caused by the felt of the lens hood. It's one of the most beautiful we have had (please remember always its age!) . It's in working order, the blades are oil free. Also the glasses, for its age, are in reasonagly good condition. It has some dust inside, few light cleaning marks, some little white "spots" inside and a light not widespread haze. The inner barrel has lost some paint, so you can see some "white". It comes with its original special spot filter, rear cap, lens hood (original!) with cap and its red box (with the proper serial number) in great condition too. Find items of 20 or 30 years old in like new conditions is relatively easy, find so old items (especially in black finish) in these condition is very very hard. It's a great item for the Leica collector.
