Leica TROPEN Summar 2/5cm
Product information
Special Summar lens (Leitz product number 42214) designed for tropical conditions. Almost unknown variant with an extra element at the front of the lens (optical formula B246a), which makes it a seven element lens. Leitz factory records indicate 'TROPEN' for these very few lenses, which are to be found among the late Summar lenses, shortly before the introduction of the Summitar. From outside visible difference is the ball and groove held collapsing barrel, as the Summitar lenses had. The lens offered, one of very few known to exist is in perfect condition with both caps and hood
