Version II, Leica 28-70 Vario-Elmar-R

I just found out I have the version II of the 28-70mm Vario-Elmar zoom Leica lens. This lens is valued and selling at $595-795 USD on eBay. A new version lens is selling for $1795 USD on Amazon.com. Hmm maybe its not such a good idea to take this thing into dangerous theft possible locals.  The zoom also has a lens hood attached to it than I am trying to figure out how to remove and twist round, not sure the previous owner ever did this, it seems stuck on.

Speaking of the previous owner I guess she was a single older lady (the aunt of the seller) who shot overseas with her Leica's. The aunt passed away and the niece sold her equipment on eBay. It would be great to use her cameras to do important documentary photographs.
