Set of two Leitz factory-internal Leica M lenses Leitz Wetzlar Summicron 2/50 (II) Nr. 1885111 and Leitz Canada Tele-Elmarit-M 2.8/90 (II) Nr. 3003249. Lens mounts in mixed finish, combined from black and silver. A mysterious field are those "finish-mix" lenses, which sometimes appear, but are of unknown meaning. In fact, already in the Wilhelm Albert book of 1962, finish-mix lenses appear on factory-internal photographs of the Elmarit 2.8/90 (I) and Telyt 4.5/200 prototypes. These lenses have been authenticated by Lars Netopil. Summicron-M2/50mm(#1885111) comes with keeper and front cap, in mint condition. Elmarit-M 2.8/90mm(#3003249) comes with keeper, in mint condition.
