jaapv Posted March 2, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 2, 2010 The answer to this question, btw, is that Leica Customer Service has tens of thousands of historical parts, so the best thing to do is ask them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted March 2, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 2, 2010 The infinity button is always the same, be the Summarit 1,5 engraved "Taylor Hobson" or not : Leitz had to put the engraving on lenses sold in certain countries, for patent reasons, but apart this the lens is always the same (I have the BM version unengraved, and the SM version with "Taylor Hobson").
