I am a bit lost with what i have read about the radioactive summis. What is the deal with them? Are they more trouble than they are worth because of the browning? How about resale? Do people avoid them? -
We've all heard of that college student who bought an M2 for 5$ in a thift shop. I've never got such a deal but I've managed to get Leica equipment for low prices in the past. Such as a very clean M2 that I got in an eBay auction for 600$CAD. The shutter speed had to be adjusted, and the vulcanite had to be replaced. Other than that, it is in excellent condition. I later got an M262, which I also bought on eBay, for about 3500$CAD. The sensor was filled with dust and oil spots, and the focusing mechanism had to be lubricated two days after I recieved it. (Those problems where not specified by the seller) It looked like new back then, but after about six months of use, I've got some paint removed on the corners and a cut in the faux leather. It has been faithfull ever since. Then, yesterday, I looked for a replacement for my 35mm ZM 2.8 on the internet and ended up looking for pre-ASPH summicrons. I then stumbled uppon a 35mm Summicron on keh.com for 1080$USD. No picture of the actual lens was shown and generic pictures of a Type 4 where shown instead. It was listed as "UG" (ugly). Giving this extremely low price and the 180 day warranty offered by keh, I jumped on it. (I'll keep you guys updated on this purchase.) What are the good deals you guys managed to get on Leica equipment?

OK, I'll admit it I'm a bit nutty for Summicrons. I have the 35mm ASPH the 50mm classic and the recently I found a 40mm (from the CL) for a measly $450 on fleabay. OK you say, why? You have two perfectly good lenses that actually have matching frame lines on your M10. There are two very good reasons I can come up with, the first is size. The lens is downright diminutive. It takes the M10 from small mirrorless to large point and shoot. It's now suitable for stuffing in a Billingham Aeva 5 pouch and throwing on a belt even for casual nights out or chasing the kids around the playground. Number 2 is it's actually a spectacular little lens with all the character and sharpness you could ever ask for. I'm actually finding it perfect for environmental portraiture and general street pics. It's also well suited to making multiple image panorama stitches with it's natural perspective. More than anything though it's just a pretty lens and it can do about 80% of the job of both a 35mm and a 50mm as well as have it's own character. OK so how do you frame it? Honestly it's not hard, the 50mm frame lines come up with it attached and I just imagine the frame is just outside those lines and I'm pretty close. For those instances where precise framing is necessary I always have live view. lastly I have great little Minolta double asphere close up diopter that I've adapted and this makes the little 40mm perfect for certain macro shots (especially watches and camera gear).

Hi all, I have the worst luck buying Leica gear. Just purchased my 2nd 50 Cron IV on eBay. The seller mentioned haze, and I asked a lot of questions about it, but he really described it as no big deal. Got it today and found a pretty harsh ring of haze (or?) when light is pushed through. Looks decent otherwise, but I paid a competitive price ($950 USD). I really don’t want to go through another eBay return—the seller only mentioned in a DM, where I was asking specific questions about the lens, that he would offer to return for me if I wasn’t happy. I’m a shooter, don’t mind imperfections, but I do like to have nice gear. Was thinking of sending out for a CLA and forget about it. Obviously another $100 that I don’t want to spend, but ugh. what do you guys think? edit: also the small set screws on the aperture ring show a small amount of rust. I was wondering if that might be a sign of what contributed to the optical issue, poor storage perhaps?

Latest version Leica Summicron-M 25mm F2 ASPH lens for sale. Model 11673 this is Leica's best design yet of this lens, practically perfect and comes with the better new metal push on lens cap and the better new screw on lens hood and the slide on lens hood cover so no more lens hood popping off like the older models did! Amazing lens super sharp this one was a bit of a splurge for me and ultimately I'm pretty much a 28mm guy on my Leica M6 so selling as it just doesn't get the use it should. Bought new from the Classic Camera in London 18/6/2018 I have the receipt so you can still have remaining warranty with it which is approx 7 months. Comes with all original paperwork, front and rear caps, lens hood and cap, leather case and box. The lens is optically in mint condition, and the body is also almost mint apart from one tiny dink on the lens barrel. It's very small and almost looks like a white barrel marking for lens hood alignment. See the last circled photo. This is the best it gets for 35mm primes so if you want stunningly sharp photographs in a wonderfully designed and built lens!

Will ship to E.U. uninsured for FREE or fully insured cheapest quote is £90 on top of the sale price so lens plus insured shipping tot he E.U. is £2090 All shipping is fully tracked with proof of postage and receipt included.

Hey guys, I recently acquired a cron and decided to do some test shots with it. Was checking if there was any problems with regards to front or back focus but saw that wide open it wasnt that sharp with regards to the center object that I focused on. I attached a photo of the test I did + a cropped photo of the battery I focused on but was not sharp or there was blurriness on the letters. The shot though was done in my dining table with artificial light, f2 ISO100, 2 sec timer to avoid camera shake cause I dont have a tripod at the moment. I'll definitely shoot during the day when the sun is up to see if theres a difference but just wanted post this and hear your thoughts about this. Maybe the lens needs a calibration or something of the type. Kinda new to Leica lenses as this is my first M lens. Thank you

Hallo zusammen, da hier und da schon einmal nach dem Puts-Kolumnen für die R-Objekive gefragt wird, möchte ich diese hier zusammenhängend veröffentlichen. Die Kolumnen wurden damals bei Leica frei veröffentlicht, sind jedoch heute nicht mehr verfügbar. Es handelt sich hier um insgesamt 17 .pdf Dateien die aufgrund ihrer Größe nicht in einen Beitrag passen. Gruß Thomas

Hallo zusammen, da mir ein Leica Macro-Adapter-M zu teuer ist, einfache Nahlinsen aber zu unscharf sind, habe ich mir einen Achromaten gekauft mit 5 Dioptrien. Ich fand das fokusieren über Kontrastkanten im LV-Modus aber zu ungenau und zu schwer zu erkennen. Mit der 5-fach Lupe im LV-Modus jedoch kam ich gut zurecht. Anbei eine Aufnahme im Makro-Modus und Blende 5.6, wobei ich den geringen Schärfentiefebereich sehr interessant finde, da der Hintergrund sehr schön weichgezeichnet ist. Viele Grüße, Andreas. -
I've recently acquired a very cheap 35mm Summicron v4 M in very good shape. However, the front and back elements are filled with dust (or fungus). The edges don't have any obvious fungus or anything. The are only specs here and there, but mostly in the center of the elements. What do you guys think? Is it dust or fungus? Here are some pictures:

Hello guys, I recently ordered a Summicron 90mm f/2 from 1973 (latest model before the Summicron-M 90mm f/2. It's in great shape and the optics are clear, only a few really small specs which do not affect the pictures taken with the lens according to the seller. I didn't pay too much for it. I was wondering if anyone else has this lens, and what they think about it! Here is a picture of my lens. I'll be getting it next monday, so my own pictures will follow!

Hi everybody, I'm texting cause I need your help and wisdom. I've noticed that on my Summicron 35mm f2 (made Canada) when I turn the focus ring to the closest distance possible the ring doesn't stop exactly at 0,7m but goes beyond, while instead when turned to the farther distance possible it perfectly stops at infinte symbol. I wonder if this could affect the focusing. Is it normal and common on every Cron? Thanks to all of those who will help me )

Hi folks, I was in the Leica store to check out the newly released SL Summicron 90 + 75 mm lenses; they are quite nice and handling is superb. I was asking the sales rep about the dimensions of the later to be released 50 and 35 mm lenses and he answered that they would basically share the same dimensions in order to have a "uniform user experience". For me, this is a little bit of a bummer, as I think that size does matter, also on a pro system. How come, that a 50 mm and 35 mm f2 are 10 x 7 cm large? I would much appreciate, if the lenses would be smaller (shorter), this would make the SL much more usable as a travel and street camera. Ideally, they could share the same 67 mm filter threat, but be much shorter, say 5 cm. What do others think?

Dear Friends: In the late 80's (when I was a kid) my father taught me how to use the Leica R4. I use the M-system these days but for last few weeks I have been wanting to make a comeback to film photography. I recently bought a used R4 with Summicron-R 50 mm lens. The lens looks great (I tested on Leica M10 with adapter). However, when I got the negatives developed and scanned, something strange showed up in the photographs. I am attaching a few examples. Can someone with an experienced eye help me figure out what is going on so that I can fix this problem! Your help is appreciated.
