A unicorn ROM version of the 180/3.4 APO. This was the first APO lens Leica designed (at least for the R system) and was originally developed for the U.S. Navy as an espionage tool. Later they updated the coatings for skin tones and Leica goodness and released it to the general public. These ROM versions only come up once every few years. This one is very clean and appears to have been seldom used. Includes everything pictured and the fancy built-in hood.
