Can Anyone Tell Me About This Lens

[rtw6]

Hi all. I'm new here so be gentlle. I have some rangefinder equipment I am selling for a friend and need some info and value on this Fuji lens. It has a Leica screw mount and an adaptor so it could be used on an M body as well.

Hi,
There is a german seller who sometimes lists various versions of this lens in near mint condition at a very high price but they tend to remain unsold. There are quite rare and worth quite a bit. I would be tempted to make an offer but I either couldn't afford it or would be cheating you. I found someone selling a couple Fuji 35mm F2 for about $1700-$2700 albeit in good to mint condition and again an expensive seller. These don't often come on the market and would be a collector's item. I am not an expert but I think you are looking at a 4 figure sum.
