The vulcanite is pristine. several marks on the body are the only thing that keeps cosmetics out of excellent+ condition. Rated at a conservative excellent-, but then you won't be buying this one for a collector case, but to shoot and see what the 135 focal length can do for you. A really nice lens, $100 US, including delivery in the US. Delivery outside the US at cost. This is the later version with 39mm filter thread. It Has the 3/8 tripod thread but has a removable bushing to fit it to 1/4 tripod threads. Includes a Leica front lens cap. No rear cap. (the rear glass is far far away from the mount) If you have never used the 135 on your M this is a good way to try one out. That's what I did and have since purchased the Tele-Elmarit so this lens is now excess to my needs. Dennis
