Cherry on the cake

I got this lens lately, made a complete CLA yesterday, one of the simpliest (mechanicaly)leica lens.
Just want to share.

WOW !!! Screw Mount Summilux !!! Superfine & Super rare !!! What a fine chrome combo !
I suppose... lens under the well known #1.644.000 , right ?

Luigi,
Lens is over 1 702 000.

luigi bertolotti · 05/15/08, 12:35 PM

Sorry... a mistake... 1.844.000 is the number from which started the new lens design (made for BM only... but Lager writes that 2 SM items were found over the 1844000...)

With this lens and shade mounted, do you still see anything trough the IIIg-finder?

JC, that is a sweet setup. Quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,

Bill

Absolutely, just a tiny rounded frange in the bottom is covered by the hood, anyway always much more than the M8 with the Noctilux !

Thank you Bill, it was my pleasure.

OK. I've never had the chance to look at this combination myself. It's a beauty!

Regards,

Erik.
