Das stimmt. Nicht umsonst klafft in meiner schon ganz ansehnlichen Prospekte-Sammlung eine schmerzliche Lücke zwischen 1939 und 1949. Da ist dieser Prospekt doppelt wertvoll, da er Aufschluss über das tatsächliche oder doch beabsichtgte Programm während der Kriegszeit gibt.

Pecole, according to list at Thiele, Kleines Fabrikationsbuch. Leica-Objektive your Summarexes are among the first 600 and are bulit in 1943. The fist one you list is the 65. Summarex and so on.

 

Was the aluminium mountet, when it was in reparature? In 1943 chrome was scare in Germany. Perhaps is the nickel apllied therefore?

 

I would be interestet to know, whether these Summarexes are scaled in meters or feet.

 

Summi Cron-Lux, wäre sehr gespannt auf den Prospekt. Er ist aus einer Zeit, in der es mindestends bald danach einer Genehmigung der Papierzuteilung für wissenschafltiche Literatur bedurft hat.

I have posted a reply yesterday, but apparently, it failed to appear. Here is a repeat . all my Summarexes are scaled in "m", and red dots are included in the intervals of the aperture scales to mark the old-mode numbering. You are probably right in assuming that the aluminium part was fitted on the occasion of an overhaul or repair immediately after the war, since the glass is coated.

Thank you. It is interesting, that all of your Summarexes are scaled in m, for they all are very early Summarexes and therefore probably manufactored in 1943.

You often can read, that all Summarexes are coated, also the very first ones.
