Edwin Molenaar

A highly sought-after vintage Leica lens, originally introduced in 1958 and widely known among collectors as the legendary “8-element Summicron.” Manufactured in Germany and featuring the original Leica L39 screw mount, this lens is celebrated for its rich tonal rendering, beautiful three-dimensional character, and classic Leica image quality.

Compared with later versions, the 8-element design is especially prized for its unique rendering style and rarity. Original L-mount examples are significantly less common and remain highly collectible among Leica enthusiasts worldwide.

Accessories: Front cap, rear cap
Condition: Shows exterior scuffs and scratches. Overhauled in October 2025. Slight haze remains in part of the optics.

To ensure careful quality control, this item will first be collected from one of our domestic stores to our central warehouse before being dispatched via DHL. Please note that shipping may take approximately 3–5 business days (instead of the standard 3 days). We appreciate your understanding.
