Hi guys, I haven't find any serious comparison between new Summarit 35mm f2.4 and the older f2.5 version on the net. I've read in some reviews there isn't any difference between the optics and the new version only advertised as aspherical however the older has the same optics ! Is it right? But Ken Hansen a famous Leica dealer believes that there is a huge difference between the optics, design and picture sharpness and Summarit f2.4 can be compared with Summicron f2 in quality. What do you think? have you ever compared or experienced both? I'm have two choices to buy now with the same $1150 price. one is a brand new Summarit f2.5 and the other is a lightly used Summarit f2.4 which has been bought 3 years ago. Should i go for brand new f2.5 or the quality difference worth it to buy the used f2.4?

Here is a copy of a page from the 1938 Leica Catalogue coming from a dealer in Dublin and altered by hand to reflect prices increases and new models which were available around 1949. For example, IIIb becomes IIIc, but the model change does not really account for the huge increases in price. In 1939 a IIIb with Summar cost £43, but in 1949 a IIIc with Summar cost £86, an increase of 100%. This cannot be just explained by the change in model from 'b' to 'c'. In 1938 a IIIb with Xenon cost £59-6-0 and in 1949 an equivalent IIIc with Summarit cost £98-10-0. The war had obviously caused inflation effects and wage increases and material prices and shortages would also have had an impact. The dealer in this case was largely an optician business and I suspect that the supply to Dublin may have been from the Leitz office at 20 Mortimer Street in London. At that time the Irish pound was linked on a one for one basis with Sterling. Any information on British prices in the post war period would be welcomed. There may have some tariff differences by that time. US and European price increases over that period would also be interesting. William

Hello, a new Leica owner here. I found an M6 with a 35mm f/2.5 lens on sale for $1700 from a local pro photographer. It's not in the newest of shape but well maintained and cared for. The lens was bought new 3 years ago. Is this a good deal? Thank you in advance. -

On my recent trip to Greece I got to meet this colourful character who had brought his catch to the docks to sell. The scraps from the boat are thrown overboard where they are devoured by a colony of sea turtles. I mostly work in black and white but I loved the rich, bright colours of the boat and overalls Fish-2 by Robert Michael Poole, on Flickr Fish-3 by Robert Michael Poole, on Flickr Fish by Robert Michael Poole, on Flickr Thanks for looking.

A couple of skulls acting as a warning on a fence in Greece this summer. I am interested in how the economic collapse has impacted on the people and landscape of Greece and this is part of a series I took for a personal project, "Greece in Decay". Thank you for looking.

Here are a few as part of my Greece in Decay series showing the a side of the tourist resorts not in the holiday brochures. Lots of Greece were encouraged during the boom years to invest in hotels, bars etc after the bust many of these have closed.

I've been trying to find reviews of the new Summarit line of lenses to no avail. Have the lenses not been released yet or is it that there is a slow take up and not many reviews around as yet.

Hello, Some of you may have seen my odysee recently trying to choose a Leica... well, I have finally joined the club with an M9 Summarit 50mm 2.5. Ive got to say I've only shot a dozen frames and after working out the bugs I'm smitten. I've got my family staying with me at the moment so here are a couple of test shots. Processed in Lightroom.

Hallo und guten Tag, nachdem mich vor etwa zwei Jahren der Rotpunktvirus in Form einer X1 infizierte, beschäftigte ich mich mehr oder weniger auch mit den Messsucherkameras. Zur X1 gesellten sich später noch eine X-Vario und eine X-E. Die Vario ist mein treues Arbeitspferd mit einer wirklich tollen Optik und besticht durch gutes handling. Dennoch ging mir eine "M" nicht aus den Kopf, das Probehalten einer M8 brachte jedoch nicht den gewünschten Effekt. Nun war es soweit, eine gebrauchte M9 oder M-E soll es werden. Bereits vor einigen Tagen ergatterte ich ein neuwertiges Summarit 75/2.5. Warum diese Brennweite? Ich fotografiere gern am langen Ende meiner Vario (70mm) und wollte daher diesem Exoten eine chance geben. Die Lichtstärke genügt meinen Ansprüchen. Eine toll erhaltene M-E aus 2015 mit ca. 7000 Auslösungen wurde für einen fairen Kurs von meinem Vertrauenshändler angeboten, da schlug ich zu. Es ist nun das Kassenmodell in Rammsteinhaptik - aber mir gefällt sie sehr gut. Mit dem MS komme ich auch schon recht gut zurecht, ich freue mich auf die erste Fototour. Die Bedienung finde ich logisch und schnell, besonders die elegante Lösung mit dem Belichtungsspeicher und das satte Auslösegeräusch fasziniert mich. Im Zulauf habe ich einen Visoflex III, da ich auch mit Telebrennweiten arbeiten möchte. Mal schauen, was sich da noch tut. Anbei ein schnelles handyfoto Viele Grüße!
