Questions
Does optical condition affect the price much?
Yes — fungus, haze, coating scratches or oily aperture blades can cut the value by a third or more compared with a clean, smooth-focusing example.
Is this lens the same mount as a Leica screw-mount body?
Yes, L39 is the 39mm Leica Thread Mount, so the lens fits Leica LTM bodies as well as Canon's own rangefinder cameras from the same era.
