And here is the next rare super fast lens on sale on [shoplink 300919 ebay]eBay Denmark (Click here)[/shoplink]. It’s the Leica 65mm f/0,75 F-mount lens. It’s therefore easily to adapt on every mirrorless camera out there.
Beautiful lens!

nothing to see here, move on!
What?
Too cheap, probably sold in an instant!
It has no focusing (fixed close focus) and no aperture (so you are stuck with f/0.75 at any light). Combination of close focus and always open aperture means that DoF is going to be nano-thin (paper-thin sounds too thick in this case), so it is useless for macro, but only good for relatively small subjects. Even if (and that is big IF) it has flat field, it is only useful for document reproduction in low light (again, no DoF to speak of), probably optimized for a certain size like A4.
I think of it as an ultra-rare Leitz collector’s item in good condition 😉
Of course if I had the chance to get it and try it out there would be options to get it to focus. Aperture can’t be helped though, at least not easily. I know people who saw lenses in half and add iris blades but those mods are often very ugly and I wouldn’t ruin such a lens like that because it’s a collector’s item first and shooting lens second.
