Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M pre-ASPH lens from Facebook Marketplace. According to the Leica Wiki, it was produced in 1992 and is supposed to be the titanium version. From what I’ve read (e.g., on Dan Kerin Photography), the regular Summilux weighs 245g. If mine is titanium, I assume it should weigh more, but my lens weighs 223g, which seems lighter than expected. I’m planning to post pictures after I develop some test rolls, but in the meantime, can anyone confirm the weight of the titanium version or provide tips to verify its authenticity? Thanks for your help!

Hi All SL-users! I have had my SL for some months and used mostly M-R lenses with the adapers and the 24-90 Zoom which covers most situations. The system is heavy, but once you get used to it, -you start wondering why not use lenses of your 645 cameras:)? I have the Contax 645 lenses and wonder if anyone has found suitable adapter to use these on the SL - even if the AF and some other functions might be lost? Some time back there were still companies which made tailor-made adapters, but I have learned that we are maybe past those times?;) However, there are individuals who are keen to solve problems and I remember someone making an AF-unit of Nikon's 16A-teleconverter, which was not that difficult after all... Even the Photokina exhibition might have revealed something on this front? So, -please, share any of your experience and of this topic? if there are any:)? br Hans
