Lens mount threads visible on older Leica 1a
gsilcott posted a topic in Leica Collectors & Historica
I just bought this Leica 1a at auction (#37698) and noticed threads exposed between the body and the back of the lens when the lens is extended. I didn't see anything similar on other older 1a's I found online. Is this the close Focus version or am I missing a piece that is supposed to cover those threads? -
As Leica increasingly rolls out new lens designs that focus closer than 0.7m, I figured it would be a good time to start a thread featuring images taken with these lenses. Please upload photos taken with Leica-branded M lenses with a native minimum focusing distances less than 0.7m (e.g. 35 Lux FLE II, 50 Lux Asph II, 35 APO, etc.). Images featured here should be taken at a distance less than 0.7m. Please let us know what lens you used! I'll start us off with a few taken with the 50 Lux Asph II with an M10

How do you master close focus of Summicron 75? It can focus down to 0.7 meter, which is great. However, due to range finder, I cannot frame the subject properly. Any tip please? Thanks you.

Hi, everyone! Please make me sure, that I'm correct, if I have these thoughts about this lens: - Changeable, but non-standardized (not interchangeable): - no "0" on the mount anywhere (as I know this is not a prove) - close focus to 0,5, that I can't use with my modded Leica II (I->II standardized), because it's uncoupled - below one meter the finder "jumps" - it has three digits serial number, as I know the last three digits from the body's serial, that ensures, that it can be used only with the body it was built for. (if it's true, 2307 pieces were made of this kind of Elmar 35mm) I gathered these information, and want to be sure, if they are correct. S o please help me, if you can! And one other question! If these things are true - is there any chance to find the body? Best regards! Jeremy
