chino79 Posted June 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, a question for the Leica aficionados. Recently got my first Leica, and also a 50mm 1.4 Summilux. I am very happy with it. I did notice on the front of the lens something missing, it has Summilux 1:1.4/50 EITZ WETZLAR and the serial number. I always thought it was LEITZ not EITZ, has anyone seen this before? I have asked around and no one has seen it before. Some info would be great. There is no paint missing it was never there. Picture soon. Thanks.

luigi bertolotti Posted June 1, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 1, 2010 Funny engraving mistake, and as JC says, these rare errors are appreciated by collectors... I remember to have seen WLTZLAR, GERMAY, ELMART... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
