FS: Leica R and M mount lenses - APO 280/4 APO 90/2 ASPH etc
Item 1: Kern Macro-Switar 26mm f1.1
I have two hard to find premium lenses from Kern Macro-Switar line. The lenses are both practically mint, as in no easily discernible signs of use and come with original caps, hoods and leather case. Made in Switzerland, these will work well in crop sensors with some vignetting on APS-C. Ideal for smaller sensors, they produce gorgeous colour, contrast and bokeh.
This lens would be best suited on a smaller sensor camera such as Nikon V1 or Pentax Q. I used it on Sony NEX-5n where although it vignettes a lot, the rendition was so beautiful, I still kept it for a long time. In addition, it has unmatched build, smooth focus, ingenious depth of field scale and is very small. Asking $1200 nett to me.
This lens covers APS-C sensor wide open and vignettes progressively as you stop it down. A beautiful fast optic with unique rendition. I believe it is apochromatic due to the absence of discernible aberrations. A rare lens and a hidden gem in the Macro Switar lineup. Small and beautifully built like its little brother the 26/1.1. Asking $1400 nett to me.

Item 1: Leica APO-Telyt 280mm f4 lens as new
I will be putting up more Leica R, Leica M, rare C-mount and other lenses for sale as I have to streamline my gear. I have 40 all positive feedback on Pentax Forum http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/feedback.php?u=12403 feel free to contact me through PF if you want.
The first one up is this beauty. Undoubtedly the best lens in this range ever made. In pristine condition, with both caps, ND filter, leather case, box and even the original warranty card.
A local sale would be easier of course but I can ship overseas at cost. European members - I would be prepared to send it from Switzerland or France in December when I will be there, but would need a deposit to hold it until then.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
I guess you must've heard this lens described as the best lens built for 35mm system ever. I won't say more, except that this lens is astounding. Best portrait lens I have ever tried bar none.
This copy is well used, but still in very good condition. There is some paint loss. It comes with Leica UV/IR filter which has always protected the glass, so both front and rear glasses are pristine. Focusing is smooth. Aperture click nicely at each stop but can be pushed a little past f/2 though it doesn't rest there. A fantastic lens which would satisfy a fastidious user but not a collector obviously.
