We already have a very extensive 'Mandler Magic' topic, but as much I am keen on Mandler's signature look and his contribution to the "Leica glow", there is another very distinguished gentleman in the 'House of Leica' that as a leader of Leica's optical design team since 2002 gave us a bunch of new high performance M-Lenses and pushed the terms FLE, ASPH and APO towards modern Leica perfection. He was the guy that had the balls to say Dr. Mandler's 75mm Summilux 1.4 was his *least* favorite design and went on to "Make Summilux great again" - all the way down to 21mm. Show us some of the "clinical look" of the Peter Karbe magic and do tell what lens he designed is your favorite...

I recently bought a used "mint" Summilux 35 ASPH FLE and upon receiving it I discovered the inside of the lens to be extremely dusty. Needless to say, I returned it immediately. I do wonder how this could be possible though - the lens was sold to the previous owner in 2016/10 so it's been used for about a year. I just can't believe a one-year-old lens can have this much dust in it. Is there some type of design flaw with the FLE version that makes it prone to dust? I'm thinking about getting a new one so I don't want the lens to be like this after a year...

Leica T w 35 1.4 FLE

So much written about the floating element wandering out of alignment and some other focus issues of this lens by many frustrated users goung through two, three, four copies. All the gathered information seems to indicate that these problems were present for samples made somewhere until 2018, so my question is, does the only SILVER special edition 11701 (batch of 300) from February 2020 exhibit any of the much debated woes regarding its FLE or did Leica tighten the tolerance? Proud owners, also paste your pictures of this very rare gem. -
As shown in the picture, I shot this using my new 35mm 1.4 FLE lens at widest aperture and I’m shooting with the lens hood on. Does anyone happen to know what caused the circular light rings around all light bulbs? Is it due to lens defects for this particular lens or it’s a general thing for FLE lenses? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Salve a tutti, ho acquistato da pochi giorni il Summilux 35 usato 11663 e sto effettuando alcuni scatti di prova. Mi piace tantissimo la resa e come ben sapete è una grande ottica. Ho provato a scattare in controluce e ottengo questo chiarore molto evidente. Ho utilizzato il paraluce, ma anche senza di esso avrei ottenuto lo stesso risultato in quanto da come vedete il sole entra nell'inquadratura. Chiedo ai possessori del Summilux se questo è un comportamento normale dell'obiettivo; in tutte le altre situazioni di scatto ritengo sia perfetto, brillante con una resa straordinaria. Vi ringrazio in anticipo e auguro a tutti voi buona giornata e buona luce.

Hallo Gemeinde, ich habe mir das neue Lux bei meinem Lieblingshändler vorbestellt. Leica liefert wohl zum Ende des Monats aus. Gibt es equivalente Aussagen von anderen Händlern? Oder überhaupt... wer hat es bereits geordert und es vielleicht sogar schon in den Händen? Kaue schon auf den Nägeln vor Aufregung ;-) Roland
