AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The optical factory Tanaka supplied not only optics but also a beautiful camera based on the Leica III f. For this Tanaka camera with M39 Leica mount, various lenses have been released, ranging from wide-angle to telephoto, and equipped with rangefinder coupling. These lenses were produced in small quantities and are rarely offered.

Rare NO RESERVE Camera Not Included

The set offered here is reasonably rare and consists of:

A Tele Tanar lens 10cm f3.5 with serial number 10123, complete with rear cap and original leather case.
A Tanaka Universal viewfinder for 3.5 to 13.5 cm.

The condition of the set is very good. The glass of the lens is clear and free of scratches, mold, or separation. Internally, some dust particles are visible. The focus adjustment and diaphragm (without oil on the blades) operate smoothly.

The viewfinder is clear with unbroken optics.

Appearance: the lens is beautiful. No dents or impact damages. Chrome is very neat. Only minor traces on the paint. Clear lettering.

The paint of the seeker shows some irregularities (see photos).

Beautiful and rare set for the serious collector or user.

PM. Camera not included.
