For your consideration isa well looked after Canon “R” 19mm f/3.5 Classic and rare wideanglelens. Modified with a Leica “M” mount 6 Bit coded.I put this lens on myLeica SL2-S & it has a beautiful painterly classic look. The lens works asit should & focuses to infinity........Optically the lens lookscrystal clear scratch free and the barrel looks very nice considering its age.It weighs approx.. 17 ounces & it is 3 inches in length............There is no oil on t...heblades. The f/stop numbers click into place & the focus ring feels smooth.It holds Series 9 screw in filters.Please keep in mind thisis a vintage lens originally introduced back in 1965. As with all 50 year oldlenses they may have gathered some internal dust over time. This particular lens seems to produce clearoptical imagery. As much effort as practical has been made todescribe functionality and condition. This lens has a long history and in theright hands this lens will yield incredible “Artistic” images for years tocome.Thank you for looking.
