Description:

I've got some LTM/M lens overlap, and I'm not using my LTM bodies much, so I'm offering a few items here.
This is the somewhat rare 1st version 35/2.5 Pancake Voigtlander Color-Skopar, in Leica Thread Mount (LTM). It was offered alongside the still-current LTM 35/2.5 Classic, and didn't seem to sell as well as the Classic. I certainly don't see many offered for sale.
Optics between the two are the same, but looks and handling are different. The Pancake looks both a little more "modern" and "normal" to me; it has a standard ribbed focus ring as opposed to the knob-only ring of the Classic. The Pancake is, somewhat surprisingly, not much more compact than the Classic.
I bought this used, and it's seen little use with me or the former owner. Near new condition, there are no cosmetic or mechanical flaws to mention on the lens. Glass is clear with no haze, fungus or cleaning marks. Focus ring is smooth and well-damped, aperture ring is smooth with good detents. The front cap shows a mark or two, with a small part of the Voigtlander logo rubbed off.
Included is the lens, hood and original front/rear caps. I do not have the box or instructions. I can supply a clean genuine Leica 35mm LTM>M adapter if needed for an additional $50; adapter is not available separately.
Price of $250 is all-in, including paypal fees and USPS Priority shipping to the domestic US and Canada. I'm happy to ship worldwide; please add $15 for international destinations.
Payment by paypal only, please.
Just to head off the Pricing Police, I know that my asking price (minus paypal and shipping fees) is about the same as the cost of a new 35/2.5 Classic in the US. The v1 Pancake has been discontinued for some time now. I had been looking for one for a while, and gladly paid a bit of a premium to get this one. I always try to price my items fairly, and I do think this lens is worth more than a new Classic. One just sold on ebay for $260; it had box and instructions, but it was not identified as a v1 Pancake.
As always, I'm happy to answer any questions, but the first "I'll take it" PM or email gets the item.
