Hi,

I have two M6 Classic (Near Mint) for sale and two 50mm Summicron, one 90mm f/2 and a 35mm summicron. I also have a Canon Model 7 with a 50mm f/0.95 in very very nice shape.

Chrome? Black?

Both M6 Classic are black, all the lenses are black. The Canon Model 7 is a chrome body.

Eric, Are lenses the current versions? Are the items boxed? Thanks.

One of the 50mm Summicron is the current model, I'm very very picky so I would rate it as mint minus. The other 50mm is the model just before and is truly mint. The 90mm summicron is the last model with Leitz engraving, mint also. The 35mm summicron is near mint and was made in Canada. I dont have the papers or box for any of the items.

Eric, Does the older 50cron have the focusing tab? If so, convex or concave? Thanks!

-- John (jamriman@yahoo.com), May 24, 2002.

It has the tab and concave front lens element. Front and rear lens caps/lens shade. This one is really really mint. No sign of wear and it has that special feel that the finish has when it is brand new out of the box.

Concave front lens element? I don't think so. You do see those on some Leica wideangles. John meant that the focus tab can either be concave (usual Leica style) or convex (weird). I hav the weird version, and would prefer the concave.
