Leica 35mm f2.8 Summaron M3 1904145

This Leica 35mm f2.8 Summaron Lens with Goggles for M3 (Silver), #1904145, is in great condition with minor handling wear. I rate it cosmetically a (9+). The aperture ring is smooth, but the focus ring is quite 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 glass in the goggles is clear. This lens includes front & rear caps.
