Avenon 21mm F 2.8 Super Wide Leica Screw Mount Lens
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007For auction is a silver version of the excellent and hard-to-find Avenon 21mm F 2.8 Super Wide lens for cameras that use Leica Screw Mount (also known as Leica Thread Mount and M39). With an adapter, it will also fit cameras that use the Leica M Bayonet mount. These lenses were made by Y.K Optical from Yokohama and sold under the name Avenon (in Japan), Kobalux (in the U.S.), Pasoptik, and Bower. They are superb both optically and mechanically, and deservedly have very high reputation.
The lens is used, but very lightly, and it’s excellent without any problems. There are no scratches, haze, or fungus. As one would expect from a used lens there is only small amount of dust inside, but the lens is very clean. Mechanically the lens also works perfectly. There is no oil on the blades, and everything (focusing, aperture) works smoothly.
The serial number of the lens is 95897. The lens comes the original front cap, a rear cap (it’s probably original too, but I am not sure), and the original 21mm viewfinder. The viewfinder has its rear cap.
