Thanks, Robert Quoting Didier Ludwig <leica@screengang.com>: > I'm thinning out my gear to make funds for a b&w printer. > > For sale is a CV Nokton 40mm f1.4 lens, single-coated version, with > matching LH-5 hood, original caps and box (upper part of foam > missing). The M-mount is modified to bring up the 35mm framelines of > a M6. As the 35mm framelines are quite conervatively inside the 35mm > filed of view, the 40mm field of view fills it almost perfectly. > Framing seemed much more precise to me on the M6 than with a 35mm > lens. > > The lens has have a lot of use in the 2 1/2 years I owned it thus > there are some tiny usage marks on hood and barrel.
