The Leica Lisse store in the Netherlands has acquired an extremely rare lens: the huge, 26-pound Leica / Hughes Leitz 17mm f/2. This is the only example of this wide-angle lens produced and is currently available for purchase for just $47,200.
The Leica Store Lisse regularly obtains some rare and unique Leica products, including an unopened Leica KE-7A originally sold to the military that included an X-ray of the packaging to assure buyers what was inside.
This time, as spotted by
Leica Rumors, the store has listed an exceedingly rare fast wide-angle prime.
“Newly added into our collection is this ‘one of a kind’ Leica / Hughes Leitz 17mm 2.0 fisheye lens which almost weighs 12 kilograms (about 26 pounds),” the store writes in a description both on Facebook and its website.
