  1. I have recently acquired one of those Canmany V4 made in god knows where, the one with the new front ring design (associated with Solms copies) but says made in Canada in the barrel (as opposed to Made in Canada engraved on the front ring). Some say it's the result of Leitz making these lense while moving factories and assets around in 86/87, and parts were used wherever and whenever they were available. I have heard people saying the 12524 plastic hood, when used incorrectly, can damage the Canadian copies with plastic front ring. Mine doesn't look plastic but I am not sure if anything else inside could be. While I like the look, I fear a little the possibility of damaging my lens with these hoods, not to say a well worn copy of these hood cost roughly 150-250 USD these days. May as well buy a 12526, if Leica still sell them. 12585 is kind of big for a lens this small but price-wise it seems more sensible. Has anyone got a picture of V4 with a 12585, on their M? I understand Tahusa is selling a metal copy of 12524/12526 on their shop, but I have not seen anyone's opinion on the quality or experience of using those. Thanks in advance 🙂
  2. Just saw this Nickel Rigid Summar 5cm f2 while browsing for lenses on a shops site, is that front "ring" a hood or part of the lens system?

  4. Hello there. I work in a biological lab in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Our lab is pretty old, so we have found these old glass slides and we were wondering exactly how old can they be. It says "Ernst Leitz, Berlin. Mikroscope & Laboratoriumsbedarf. N.W. 6 Luisen-Str. 45". I think if somebody knows until which year the Ernst Leitz GmbH was located at this adress, we could determine the minimal age of this relic.
  5. Hello everyone, I'm new to the Leica Forum, but a longtime participant on photo.net and APUG.org. I've been busy digitizing my large, but incomplete, collection of Leica Photography magazines from 1949 through 1981. I'm working on obtaining permission to make the PDFs of these old magazines available, but, in the meantime, here's an annotated index I've prepared of my collection. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5tXvOBB2mPrS0dfNkZaZkwwMms/view?usp=sharing The old advertisements (for Leitz products as well as a lot of other photography ephemera) in this magazine are fantastic, as are the debates on technique, equipment, chemistry, etc. Think the fuss about Rodinal edge effects is new? There's an article from the Fall 1963 issue that discusses them. Also, if you have old issues of Leica Photography magazine that fill in any gaps in my collection, please let me know! I'm especially eager to get my hands on Volume 7, No. 1 (Spring 1954). All the best, Dan
  6. ordered this because the original description said that it fit a ii with a scnoo winder, turns out i've been tod it fits a iiif with a viooh viewfinder and a leicavit --- anyone know a leica code for it- I'd say condition is 9/10 -- just trying to find the right code -- looked around a bit and couldn't find this configuration --
  7. Hi, I'm hoping someone can help identifying this E. Leitz adapter ring. The base rotates with an alignment line on numbers 1 to 10. 1:3.5 is above the 1. It measures approx. 41mm across. any assistance is appreciated.
  8. Hi everyone, I'm a new Leica user and bought an M6 Classic with a Leitz Summicron 2.0. The first roll came back blurry and I thought it was my shooting..then the second and third and so on. I sent my lens in to Keh (where I had gotten it) to be serviced and it came back with the same results. The images are generally overexposed when in very sunny conditions and all of them are very softly focused. I shot most of a roll at f16 and not one thing was in focus. I don't think it could be the lens, as it just came back from being properly adjusted so I'm wondering if it could be the body? I'm not sure what to do as I've spent my budget on this setup. I was going to send it in to get the VF upgrade because I was experiencing some flaring but that is not what is happening here. Any tips very much appreciated.
  9. 😂😂😂 — Sorry, couldn't resist. Leica Rumors has the real one (Link).
  10. The person I bought it from said they bought it from a seller in Japan a few years ago. And they got the lens CLA'd (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust) this year. Serial Number: 125167 It weighs 111 grams when there's no caps on it. It has "50mm" instead of "5cm" written on the front of the lens, which it would indicate that it's an earlier model I believe. There's an "o" on the barrel by the focus lever, which would indicate that this is a standardized lens mount. Underneath the focus leaver there's the number 5 (as shown in the picture), I don't know what this means. I think the focus lever is at the 11 o'clock position? I'm not sure how to tell. I tested it and found: 105 cm / 41 inch closest focusing distance. The rear plate has distances in feet. I don't know if Leica sent certain countries a different plate, or if it was replaced by a distributor, or if it was replaced in the decades after it was first sold. Interestingly enough there's no "Germany" or "Made in Germany" that I see on other exported lenses. Full album with more more picture and in higher quality: https://imgur.com/a/bhQcwHI Is this lens legit? Was the rear plate with "feet" replaced by a 3rd party? And is this really 1931 or 1932?

  13. Hi, I bought a ex cl on ebay. working fine. only after a roll of film almost lost the rewind. Very loose, coming off. I realize this is a 40 yo, + camera. wondered if there is a fix for this, or do i have to send it in for a cla? Any advise appreciated. richard
  14. Hello everyone, I recently bought a Leitz Focomat II and discovered that when printing from the 60mm Focotar lens that two dark lines forming a triangle appear on either side of my prints. I also noticed that there are four light spots hitting the rim of the lens (these increase in size when you open up the aperture) and I'm pretty sure this is related to the problem. I'v looked at the enlarger from every angle and checked that things are all in their proper place I have attached images to demonstrate what I'm describing above. You can see the two dark lines forming a triangle clearly in the sky above the lion's head (the same is mirrored on the other side of the print but harder to see), and there are a couple shots of the light spots hitting the rim of the lens. Could anyone please tell me what might be causing these light flares and how I could fix the problem. All insights are greatly appreciated! Rene

  16. Leica/Leitz CA 2500 Dia Projektor Objektiv Hallo ich habe oben genanntes Gerät. Ich interessiere mich für weitere Objektive. Hier gibt es 42,5mm Objektive (Standard - wird über Adapter Stutzen genutzt) und 46mm (hier wird ein Kubus benötigt so weit ich weis) Die Frage lautet: 1.) Geht da jeder Kubus der passend für Leica/Leitz Geräte sind? Also jeder Kubus in verschiedener Länge? Oder muss zum 46mm Objektiv auch ein passender langer Kubus dabei sein? 2.) Was würde passieren wenn ich ein Kubus von einem 250mm Objektiv nehmen würde und statt ein 250mm Objektiv nur ein 120mm Objektiv reinschraube? Danke
  17. Hi, I have since quite some time an excellent Leitz Summilux 35mm 1.4 pre-ASPH. It should be a classical Canadian Mandler lens. But, the engraving states that the lens was made in Germany! I've checked all available databases and they state it is a 1987 lens from Canada. The only 35mm Summilux 1.4 pre-ASPH made in Germany were the late titanium ones. Can somebody tell me what lens I do have and if this is a collectors item? Thank you for your help, Christian
  18. So FINALLY i got a viable Leicaflex SL. After a year of trying and a lot of misery (self-imposed and from girlfriend), I finally got a keeper. Anyway, I bought an L-Flex SL from a "flybynight" place and got shafted from it, to the point that I wrote it off. During that time, my girlfriend bought me a case for it, and funded a Mk1 50-cron for the camera. About July, I reignited my desire to find a L-Flex SL that I could use, and tried KEH, since they were great with Nikon stuff for me. The first one I bought was a shell with a dead shutter, dead meter, dead everything. Returned it for a second one, this one had the same as the first, and in addition a severely cracked prism. Returned again, and they told me to "just keep this one". It was an SL, but the flowerpetals on the takeup reel had been stripped (otherwise it works fine, I may have DAG restore it at some point and plop a 2-cam 35 on it, since DAG did amazingly well on my 50-cron). My girlfriend, who usually supports my dream of owning a Leica, was like "it won't happen unless you pay at LEAST $500 for one". But me being stubborn, I couldn't stop myself from trying. Anyway, a few days ago I was reading about Leicaflexes and I stumbled into Tamarkin Camera. I had heard a mix of "wonderful" and "horrific" from posters on forums throughout, but since they were only a 2 hr drive away, I figured why not. I spoke to Dan (Stan's son) and he was an absolute class act. I put down $100 on the L-Flex SL (It was $275) and told him I'd have the balance by Feb 6, 2012. I had it ready by Jan 28, 2012 and I paid the balance. It shipped Monday, and arrived at my house yesterday Evening. I tested all the shutter speeds I could visually (my eyes are good to 1/125 for visual check), the meter against my reference meter (the one on my Nikon F3HP) and that too checked out meter to meter. So now I want to put some Ektar 100 in it and see what develops . So consider this a happy ending and a satisfied customer. He even threw in a spare wein battery, and wrote on the invoice "ENJOY!" - Dan. Classy place, and from it... a very classy camera. Jason
  19. Greeting Folks, Thought to share this image which I rather like; the oldest wine bar in London, photographed with a 1959 50mm Summilux on an M 240: Gordon's wine bar | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Cheers, Edmond :-)
  20. Hallo zusammen. Ich finde leider keine Antwort in bestehenden posts; kann mir jemand sagen, ob ich mit meiner M6 mit Leitz Logo einen höheren Verkaufspreis erzielen kann, als mit einer neueren, Leica gebrandeten Version? Danke und gut Licht!
  21. Habe gerade eine , wie mir scheint seltene Leitz Preisliste vom 1.4.1969 ergattern können. Das war ja die Zeit des Anfangs der Leica-SLR, hier die Leicaflex-SL, und ich war erstaunt, wie wenige Objektive es dazu gab, zB noch kein 28er. Das M-System (M-4) war noch deutlich vielseitiger. Interessant sind wohl auch die Preise zur damaligen Zeit. Der teuerste Brocken der Focomat-IIc-Color-komplett mit 3223,-DM Was hat ein Studienrat denn damals verdient? Ein Maßstab mag vielleicht die Beitragsbemessungsgrenze der gesetztlichen Rentenversicherung sein : 1969 = 1.700,-DM und 2013 = 5.800,-€ Beitragsbemessungsgrenze – Wikipedia Ein paar Seiten hänge ich hier an. Die pdf-Datei (5,25MB) der ganzen Preisliste versende ich gerne an Interessenten via email, insbesondere, wenn sie dann ins LUF-Wiki eingepflegt wird. Gruß, Philipp
  22. Hallo Leute, ich habe einen Focomat IIc den ich verkaufen möchte. Weiß zufällig jemand wo man das außerhalb von Ebay machen kann? Vielleicht findet sich sogar ein Käufer hier im Forum. Es handelt sich um ein schwarzes Exemplar mit Holzplatte und der zweiten Linsenausstattung. D.h. es befinden sich das Focotar 1:45/60 und das V-Elmar 1:4,5/100 Objektiv an dem Gerät. Der Focomat ist in einem guten Zustand, weist jedoch ein paar Gebrauchsspuren auf, ist allem Anschein nach, vollständig. Eine originale Bedienungsanleitung ist dabei. Ich möchte das Gerät zur Selbstabholung anbieten und habe darüber hinaus noch weiteres an Zubehör. Unter Anderem einen Belichtungsmesser, Vergrößerungsrahmen, Dunkelkammerlampen und viele andere nützliche Tools aus dem Fotolabor. Ich bin für Tipps für Verkaufsmöglichkeiten dankbar, Interessenten melden sich einfach per PM bei mir. Danke, LeicaHamburg
  23. My Trusty little Leitz 40mm f/2 was suffering from aging grease, Canada Balsam and the internal black paint had begun to become detached also so a repair was needed I also wanted to add a modern focus tap. Since the lens is so cheap I decided to try it out myself. I have a lot of knowledge about AF and MF Nikkor, Cannon Olympus and Vooigtlanders SLR and Leica mount lenses, most parts of the design and build is same same :-) but this tiny Leica has some differences as to how it's put together, first I was very disappointed to find that the front threads part series 5.5 threads is glued to the aperture housing, next I found that the rings that 'normally' have two holes or ridges for lens spanners for tightening the old Leitz lens had one or even none, so had to be taken apart with friction, a rubber tube of the right thickness must be used to reach into some parts of the lens to get it apart, I modified these rings, drilling two holes makes the hole deal a lot easier. Got it all dismantled and sorted out, the two elements with the Canada Balsam issue got a 'cooking' treatment in boiling water to separate the two halves. A drop of Araldite Krystal and the two are inseparable, a coat of mat black paint to finish the job off. Putting everything back together without leaving dust or prints is the worst part... The old gease was cleaned off and the many threaded focus threads lubed with new grease and put back together as marked by disassembly. The new focus tap needed a slight trim to clear the mounting ring and two extra location holes to keep it in alignment a single screw holds it in place. Everything fits within very tight tolerances; position of glass elements, focus threads so it was a joy to work on it. All the parts, note extra holes, the two glass element front center Extra holes for focus tap in focus mount. Focusmount with focus tap. 24 hours wait for the Epoxy to cure and testing today went very well, focus at infinity and all the way to 0.7m is spot on. Lens is now in good service condition and much closer to my heart
