A historically significant early Leica example showing age‑related cosmetic wear consistent with its era. The shutter is working as expected, and the Elmar lens displays minor surface scratches and minor haze, both typical for early uncoated Elmars.

The \u003cstrong\u003eElmar 50mm f\/3.5\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of Leica’s most iconic early lenses; minor haze and surface marks are very common and rarely diminish collector interest. Serial number \u003cstrong\u003e12707\u003c\/strong\u003e places this example firmly within the early production period, adding to its desirability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSEO KEYWORDS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeica I 1928, Leica Elmar 50mm f\/3.5, early Leica rangefinder, Leica screw mount UK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54978310570326,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/5213\/1414\/files\/IMGP7020_5a87fe57-f2a9-4698-8756-0445cbc57673.jpg?v=1786633374","url":"https:\/\/colinscameras.co.uk\/products\/leica-i-1928-elmar-50mm-f3-5-s-n-12707","provider":"Colins Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
