Leica 28mm f2.8 Elmarit V1 Yellow Scale, Shade, Finder 2297823

This Leica 28mm f2.8 Elmarit M Lens (Black, V1, Yellow Scale), #2197823, is in great condition with minor handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (9). The aperture ring is smooth, but the focus ring is very 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. The included Leica 28mm Finder (Black) is also rated a (9). This lens also includes a clip-on Leica lens hood, a rear lens cap, and a leather Leica case for the finder. Please refer to the photos for details.
