I need to clear the cupboard. Lenses seeing little use only have to go. I'll start with a very good lens which also if not in perfect condition will make images hard, or impossible, to tell from the images taken with a LNIB lenses.
FS: Leica Summilux-M 50/1.4 ASPH - EUR 2.290 plus actual shipping cost
(more to come, a Voigtlander 125/2.5 APO Lanthar Macro, C/Y mount, a Hexanon 57/1.2, an ALPA Kern Macro Switar 50/1.9, A Bokina 90/2.5 Macro in FD mount, a Zeiss C/Y 50/1.7 and perhaps something more)
I'll update this opening post as soon as I got the time to take images of a couple of other lenses, or if stuff gets moved.

Description and images are in the first reply to this post.

A possible bargain: The price is set low to reflect the status of the lens. If interested in a high performance and classic lens for less money than usual please read on:
Looking good, indeed. But no, the glass is not perfect; there are two superficial scratches on the rear lens element, obviously affecting the top coating layer only. The front element is without flaws. If looking at the rear element using a loupe one can also see a minor area with micro sctratches (a.k.a. a cleaning mark) towards the edge at one place.
Mechanics is in order. Smooth movement of the aperture ring and focus ring (apart from the slight stiffness when moving very small amounts, which is associated with Leica M lenses with a floating element).
There is no dust inside (unless looking for micro stuff using a torch and reading glasses). The blades are free from oil.
The rear element scratches can be seen one at a time as you have to get the light in the right direction or they are invisible. They are very shallow, like one coating layer?
The IQ is the same as if the scratches weren't there; that's from comparing to a like new (but chrome) copy shooting standard USAF test charts with controlled light.
And yes, the lens is 6-bit coded, original box with pouch and caps is included, and so is a B+W MRC Pro UV filter.
If interested send me a PM. I'll sell the lens to whoever says "I take it!" first.
Thanks so much for organising the fantastic lens! I just went on holidays with it and really enjoyed using it. Amazing what a decent piece of glass can do!
