160. Summilux 1.4/35mm Steel Rim chrome M3

Mint and rare steel rim 35mm Summilux f/1.4 lens for M3, clean and clear optics, with rear cap

The Leitz Canada 35 mm Summilux f/1.4 lens was introduced at the Photokina fair in 1960. It was the first wide-angle Leica lens with f/1.4 aperture. In the first version, the lens front mount is designed in the form of a quite heavy stainless steel rim which could accommodate the special OLLUX sunshade. Two versions of that lens were launched at the same time: a regular (M2) type as well as a model with incorporated optical viewing unit, that enlarged the 50 mm brightline finder image of the Leica M3. In 1966 the lens mount was redesigned with a regular A42 front mount.
A recent trend also seems to have been developed for using particularly this rare first version of the lens with modern Leica M cameras, although Leitz never announced a change in optical design, until the lens was discontinued as late as 1992.
