Advertisement Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Hi lars_bergquist, Take a look here new Summilux 35mm [ Merged ]. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted May 9, 2010 Share #102 Posted May 9, 2010 Look at the engravings on the aperture ring. It's the new lens apparently. Here compared to the current one (right) and the pic from the Ukrainian brochure (left). Mods, please feel free to remove this picture if need be.

01af Posted May 9, 2010 Share #103 Posted May 9, 2010 It's the same 35 mm Summilux ASPH that has been there since 1993. You mean, 1994. And—no it's not. If it was then it wouldn't appear in the New Products section. The new Summilux-M 35 mm Asph has a new optical design and includes floating elements. Rumour says it's even better than the previous (which was no slouch to begin with)—well, any Leica lens so far was an improvement on the predecessor. It is also expected to have less aperture-related focus shift. However when you navigate to the Leica M Lenses page and select the Summilux-M 35 Asph's Details then right now you will still get the 'old' page describing the previous model.

I'd say... site under maintenance - update during weekend... maybe in a bit naive manner : I' woudn't be surprised if official announcement is made next week.
