Please see the photos linked below, since (as we all know <g>) a picture is worth a thousand words. The lens and the focusing mount are in unusually clean condition, showing only the smallest signs of very careful use -- a conservative mint minus, probably better. Includes a matching black Series VI filter retaining ring and a Leitz UVa filter. I have boxes for the lens and the focusing mount, but the serial # on the box does not match the lens. Leitz front cap for the lens and rear cap for the focusing mount also included. http://home.attbi.com/~jnewell/web/P1010067.JPG http://home.attbi.com/~jnewell/web/P1010060.JPG http://home.attbi.com/~jnewell/web/P1010064.JPG http://home.attbi.com/~jnewell/web/P1010066.JPG http://home.attbi.com/~jnewell/web/P1010071.JPG http://home.attbi.com/~jnewell/web/P1010075.JPG The apparent bright spots in some of the pictures are reflections from the light on the metal (compare the different views). The white spot on the edge of the aperture ring at about 1:00 in one of the pictures is actually the white paint mark that indicates the position of the aperture ring on the aperture scale. I assume it goes without saying, but just in case -- this lens is a manual focus, preset aperture design for the Visoflex and while it is obviously not AF, it can be mounted on Leica SLR cameras with an M-to-R adapter.
