How much can I sell a non collapsible ltm summarit For? I want to buy a camera but I dont want this lens that comes with it. Thanks for you help

Boy, the Summarit 50/1.5 is subject to many condition issues. It is extremely subject to internal haze, sometimes it can be cleaned, often it can't. Like the Summar, Summitar, and collapsible Summicron, it has super-soft front glass (flint glass -- lead crystal), so it is very subject to cleaning marks. Further, the coating is Leica's early soft coating, which is also very subject to cleaning marks, or even being completely cleaned off the lens.

So the price realized is highly variable, depending madly on condition. From $100 to $600.

Thanks for the info John.

The Summarit (50mm f/1.5) has never been a collapsible LTM. Do you mean you have the Summitar (50mm f/2)? That changes things. Summitars in great condition go for far less than a Summarit in great condition.

It also depends on the condition, but the Summitars don't "suffer" from haze/scratches as often as the Summarits.

Gabriel, It is a Summarit . You are right , it doesnt collapse.

$300-$500 sounds a good range for a "clean" Sumarrit. Count on a $75-$100 CLA next.
