Didier -- I'm interested in the 40mm.   Is it silver or black?  Thanks, 
Robert

> 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.

> Asking $325 (OBO) including hood; plus actual shipping costs. (New
