Excellent Condition & Rare: Kiyohara Soft VK50R 50mm F4.5

This is a single-focus lens, VK50R 5cm F4.5, from Kiyohara Optics. It's the second generation of the so-called Kiyohara Soft lens.

Unlike the First VK70R, this lens can be used as a 50mm lens with a standard angle of view even on a full-size camera.

It's an interesting lens that allows you to experience the image quality of a Bess-tan (Best Single Lens) with a 35mm film or digital camera body.
It's a Leica R mount. The mount can be changed with dedicated parts.

☆ I have confirmed that it works.
◎ Regarding the exterior, there may be some minor scratches on the lens barrel, but I couldn't find any noticeable scratches, and it's in surprisingly beautiful condition considering its age.
⇛ I believe it's a beautiful item.
◎ Regarding the optics, there may be very fine dust particles due to it being an old lens, but I didn't see any mold or clouding that would cause problems in actual shooting. It's in surprisingly beautiful condition considering its age.
⇛ I believe it's in good condition.
◎ I will include the metal front cap that came with the purchase. I don't know if it's genuine.

☆ Even though the VK70R is sometimes seen on the market, the VK50R is a very rare lens that is rarely seen. The Leica R mount version is even rarer, and it's a genuine rarity.

☆ The lens mount may occasionally be loose. I didn't notice it during use, but if the mount screws loosen during transportation due to the structure, please tighten them before use.
