Summaron 2.8

This is not your ordinary Summaron lens. It does not have a focus ring. The extention makes it look like a close focus or macro setup. A "Postal" lens or a gas company meter reading lens maybe? Interesting. Not a fake, but not normal.

The lens is a real Leica lens. However it is of no use as a general purpose lens because it was made for recording meters etc at the post office. It is known as a post lens.
 
If it is cheap enough, you may think about having it converted and put into the focussing body of a rubbish lens. (I have no idea if this is possible, just guessing, but a reasonable idea I think.)

Something a tad off topic... Is it possible to get rid of googles on Summaron 35mm f2.8, and use it on, let's say, Bessa? 😀

RF will not be accurate except at infinity, but lens can be scale focussed.
