Hi everyone, I'm the lucky owner of an old 1932 Elmar 5cm lens and wanted to ask about your experiences with fungus in old lenses, especially if you live in a temperate region like Switzerland. Switzerland isn’t especially humid overall, but I do wonder how likely it is to get fungus in older Leica lenses – particularly those that have been stored for decades. Some of these were stored in camera bags, old leather cases, or drawers – sometimes for years. How common is fungus in these old Leica lenses? Is the Swiss climate generally safe from fungus, or should I still be concerned? How do you store your vintage gear to prevent fungal growth? I know that proper ventilation and low humidity are key, but I’d love to hear from other Leica users who live in similar climates or have dealt with this issue. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights! -
For me as long as I put 39-M adapter on them, for decades, I don't see why not using those with more practical Leica M which even exist in digital form. They (LTM lenses ) are "different" (some have nothing to compare with them in native M mount. Seen on old thread my favorites images taken with them, so I'd like to hear from you taken with Leica M6 Summicron collapsible 5cm LTM on Tmax 100 ... They are lovely on digital M too Summaron 3.5/3.5cm, M10 not the sharpest (of course), but I like those 'flaws' Elmar 4/90mm on M10
