This is the first, more rare, smaller and more expensive version of the 50mm f1 Noctilux. It was recently CLA'd and is 6 bit coded. It Includes the original pin hood, generic back and front cap (not shown) and CPL filter. It has 2 minor observable specs of internal dust I can see. Aperture blades show typical and very minor wear with the exception one mark as shown in the photos. Focus is buttery smooth and even across the range. Aperture rings clicks firmly and detents. The lens functions flawlessly. The rear element is pristine.
Beyond the paint loss, there is a minor scratch on the front element that is faint and less than a quarter inch and can only be seen at the right angle. I have circled it in the photo to exaggerate it. It has no impact on IQ, and you cannot see it unless you are searching for it. So it’s cosmetic as well.
Hard to find a better v1 at a cheaper price.
Not looking for any trades. I'll cover USPS Priority to the lower 48. Established members only as this is a high-priced item. $5,300 net.
