Subject: [Leica] FOR SALE LEICA 35mm SUMMICRON-M CHROME
From: s.barrett@usa.net
Date: 2 Mar 2001 07:19:02 MST

FOR SALE: Mint condition, in box with shade, caps and case, CHROME SILVER
Leica 35mm Summicron-M Pre-ASPH model 11311 serial number 3591xxx. 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.
