This Leitz Hektor-M 4.5/13.5cm black paint prototype lens made in 1949 with experimental A42 front mount, which is five years earlier than the first M3 that launched in 1954. This lens is quite different from the official version; firstly, this lens is covered by leather, front ring is longer than the later version and this barrel is made by brass, which is extremely rare. This lens comes with hood, hood cap and rear cap as well. This lens has been authenticated by Lars Netopil.
