This lens looks great on a chrome Leica M6 or M6TTL. It looks great on black bodies, too. It just looks great! It makes wonderful images too. The chrome version of the pre-ASPH 35mm Summicron, besides being very handsome, is rare compared to the black version. This, from the Cameraquest website concerning the 1990s era Leica M chrome lenses: "...ANY chrome M lens of this vintage is much rarer than its black counterpart, and is likely a future collectible." Is there any Leica aficionado who doesn't nurse a regret or two about that certain Leica camera or lens they had an opportunity to buy, but didn't, 'back in the day' before it became an unaffordable collector's item? Not only will this beautiful classic chrome 35mm pre-ASPH Summicron-M be a joy to own, it could turn out to be a shrewd investment as well. Price: $1100.00 plus $10.00 USA shipping. Consider the fact that black examples of the pre-ASPH 35mm Summicron-M in mint condition are typically offered for sale at more than $1100.00... Thanks.
