How much is a Leica 35mm f/2 Summicron 8-element Screw Mount Lens worth?

Thank You in advance.
Jesse :)

I don't buy or sell Leica equipment, so definitely not an expert.
But KEH has one for sale now for US$2469

Do you have one? If you have or could take a photo of yours, I'd love to add it to the camera database at http://www.pbase.com/cameras/leitz/35_2_summicron
If you feel like it, send it to slug@pbase.com or if it's on PBase already, let me know.

I have photos of the bayonet mount version, but not the screw mount.

By the way, just added a lot of Leica photos yesterday at http://www.pbase.com/camera/leitz
Still have a lot of work to do on the lenses.

I'm sorry I haven't been here in a while.

Yes I have Leica iii series cameras. I collect them, but hope to see them go up in the future. I do not really know how to take digital photos up close with my "old" digital, so I can't upload.

Thank You!

You do not say if you have this screw mount lens, for sale or just want to know the value of such a lens. I would have thought that a Leica collector would know this. :?

If your digital camera does not have a close up setting, try taking the shot on various settings, and see which comes out best.
