Condition Report
The chrome finish shows minimal to no wear, fine scratches and minor marks consistent with careful use. The black front ring has some light scuffs. The glass elements appear clear with normal reflections and no obvious heavy fungus or significant haze. Focus and aperture rings look intact and functional. Overall cosmetic condition is good for a vintage Leica lens of this era; full optical performance is not verified beyond visual inspection.
