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.

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

Ich habe ein Summilux 50 ASPH und ein Summicron 28. Ich bin Hobbyfotograf und fotografiere hauptsächlich unterwegs, die Kinder, auf Partys. Selten mal eine Hochzeit oder ein ähnliches Event. In letzter Zeit habe ich mir in den Kopf gesetzt, dass ich ein 35er FLE brauche um mit nur einem Objektiv unterwegs zu sein. Ich meine es könnte für meine Zwecke die beiden anderen ersetzen und es passt auch noch besser zum Sucher der M9. Allerdings müßte ich meine beiden Objektive verkaufen, um mir das 35erFLE leisten zu können. Bisher habe ich widerstehen können. Der Gebrauchtpreis des 28er Cron ist z.Z. auch verkäuferunfreundlich. Jetzt kann ich ein neues 35er FLE für 3750,- Euro bekommen und werde immer schwächer. Ich brauche Rat. Hat jemand schon einen ähnlichen Schritt gemacht? Mache ich einen Fehler? Wahrscheinlich könnte ich bald ein 75er Summarit oder ein 50er Elmar dazukaufen. Ein 15er Heliar hab ich auch noch. Grüße H.H.
