Leica 135mm f2.8 Elmarit RF 2325501

This Leica 135mm f2.8 Elmarit M Lens (Black), #2325501, is in good condition with some handling wear. I rate it cosmetically an (8+). The aperture ring is smooth, but the focus ring is a bit stiff. The aperture functions properly and the glass is clean and clear with no haze, marks, or fungus. There are a few faint specks of dust inside, but they do not affect image quality. This glass in the goggles is clear. This lens includes front & rear caps. Please refer to the photos for details.
