This is an rare early, non-micro version of ALPA Kern Aarau 50mm f/1.8 lens of which only 1526 were made from 1951 to 1955. Cosmetically the lens is near mint with smooth focus and clean optics, without fungus, separation or cleaning marks, just a small, bearly visisible ring of haze around the edges of rear element. There is some oil visible on aperture blades, but it does not effect its performance. Lens comes with original UV filter, front cap and hood.
