This is a very rare and fantastic lens. Very small production and nearly impossible to find complete with the matching proper shade and front cap
Either one or the other is usually lost or damaged.
Also, most of these were made in the LTM Screw mount so to find an original M mount is very nice.
Proper MIDLAND marked.
A must for your RARE MIDLAND marked M3 or later M2 cameras.
