Lens has perfect RF coupling Leica screw.

Serial number is 29xx pre-war lens ,I never seen ever similar looks pro works , made in factory or by quality technician.
Lens origin purpose is unknown I didn't find yet any info. Lens is damn good coating good as than post war lens or even latest MC lenses.

Pretty incredible performer. All pictures are processed, but non processed ones are pretty similar.

Looks every inch as good as the regular Contax 2/50 Sonnar.

Wow, I think it looks better than any old Sonnars I've seen before.
I wonder if it's a fake

Identified by member Klaus from Thiele book, not fake special 'sealed lens' made with Contax mount 900 pieces in 1947, this is Leica RF coupled. Looks pro work we couldn't find how we can open lens , so not DIY mod to Leica for sure.
