  1. Hi all, I've recently upgraded from a 28mm Elmarit f/2.8 (pre-ASPH) to the 28mm Summicron f/2 ASPH (used) and I received the lens yesterday. However, it seems to me that the Summicron is not focussing at infinity when I'm trying to: I'm noticing that faraway objects are out of focus, ever so slightly. At first I thought it was due to the lens being slightly softer wide open, but I stopped it down to f/4, all to no avail. I'd like to know if the lens is damaged so I can return it in time. Here's a screenshot comparing the two. I've also uploaded the raw files here. I'm new to the M system and I'm unsure what to do: and given this is a very large investment in a lens, I'd like to be sure that the lens is working as expected. Thank you.
  2. Hi All My first post. Been a Leica M system shooter for about 5 years. I’ve been in the market for a 28mm Summicron and have found one that is ~5 years old being sold by and older gentlemen. Visibly, no scratches, no dents on the tube, and overall seems to be in order and results from tests are good. However, when I remarked that he’d obviously taken care of it he told me he cleaned all his lenses generally every fortnight with fluid and lens tissue (?!) personally I avoid cleaning and always use UVs to protect my lenses and fortunalty never neeed to clean a rear element. However, this lens as good as it looks has been cleaned very regularly whether it needed it or not it seems. The lens certainly reflects green so I’m confident in the UV anti glare coating. Could his cleaning and or the fluid have in anyway weakened the balsam? How strong is the lens cement against pressure or fluid? I’m keen on buying it but I’d be concerned if he’d in anyway weakened the construction through pressure on the lens or with fluid (Giottos or Inca I believe). Otherwise, if the lens was in a shop and I was told it was new, I’d believe it.
  3. Hello everyone. I tried a search but I haven't exactly found an answer to my question. So here is the thing. For a long time I've been wondering whether to go for 28mm or 35mm – the never-ending question for all photographers Anyway, my mind is now made up to go for the Summicron 28mm. A fantastic lens in every possible way and I really love it's rendering. I am looking for a second hand example and they are fortunately for me readily available on the market. I've seen plenty of talk about Summicron 28's flare and on the opposing side of spectrum are the people who say the Cron 28 is absolutely free of the flare problem. I am talking about the large purple blobs which appear on some shots and they do look like kind of terrible and the lost off contrast is severe. For example read here: Digi•Pixel•Pop . This is not the only source where i've seen such bad flare examples. So obviously I wouldn't want to pay ~4000$/3000€ for a lens with a severe flare problem. According to Leica-Wiki (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/28mm_f/2_ASPH_Summicron-M) serial numbers starting with 39xxxxx are potentially the ones with the "problem". The good news: all signs seem to point out that the flare problem (can) exists on the early pre-6 bit serial number samples. So it seems Leica has done some modifications silently in the design along the way. Perhaps there was some change in the coatings and the newer versions are free of the flare problem. Or at least it's not as bad. So my question is this: I would like to know if people have any first hand experience on the early serial number, pre 6 bit coded lenses, and if this particular problem really exists? I am asking for this because there are plenty of available pre 6-bit Summicrons available on the used market and they are usually quite a bit cheaper than the later version. But I am really afraid to pull the trigger if these early serial numbers are more likely to have a flare problem compared to the later versions. Thank you for reading

Bei meinem Besuch in Istanbul Anfang Mai dieses Jahres kam ich in Kontakt mit Koma Sê Bıra, einer kurdischen Gruppe bestehend aus drei Brüdern, die in der zentralen İstiklal Caddesi (Unabhängigkeitsstraße) in Istanbul spielten und sich dabei der Aufmerksamkeit kurdischer Zuhörer sowie türkischer Anwohner und Geschäftsleute sicher sein konnten: In meinem noch neuen Blog habe ich einige Informationen dazu aufgeschrieben sowie noch ein paar Bilder hinzugefügt: Koma Sê Bıra on İstiklal Caddesi, Istanbul | Norbert Steinkamp. Vielen Dank für's Hinschauen, Grüße, Norbert

  22. Hi, I am new here in the forum since I have been infected by the M9 fever, after a quick test at my retailers store. I have an offer for two lenses both used. One, the f/2 28 Summicron apsh. is round about 6 years old Number two is about 15 years old, a f/2 50 Summicron What is each the max. price to pay for when it looks and "feels" like mint condition. Since I am not in an hurry to buy a new M9 I would like to chose my equipment with care. Please, professionals and experienced member give me advice what such lenses are worth to pay for. Thank you in advance!
