Cannot wait)

I have been going through some old posts and found that some users have had to have their M adjusted to the lux? is this correct? even when new?

 

Well done, I hope it arrives soon. When I ordered one the quote was for six months and I got it the following week! As regards having the camera adjusted I don't think its common at all. Mine is fine with the lens. If you have other lenses and they work OK it won't be the camera anyway but the individual Summilux. Too many scare stories get into folklore, it will be terrific.

I just got one 3 days ago, fantastic lens! I ordered mine through Popflash. When I placed the order I was told 2-4 weeks. The lens arrived right at the 2 week mark. Excellent service, highly recommended.

I had a similar experience at PopFlash - was on the waiting list for two weeks before I got a message that a 'Lux 50 ASPH was available. Tony and Alex are a pleasure to deal with!

Thanks all, see what happens.. (Apparently) patience is a virtue!

 

Is there a difference in waiting between black and silver? I have opted for a silver lux.. yet to break it to the wife.. see if she notices!

Hi Mobeyone,

 

I ordered a Summilux 35 and 50 at my local (if you can call 80 km local) Leica premium dealer at a Leica Demo day the 4th May.

I was told 6-12 months for Summilux 50 and ~ 12 months for the Summilux 35.

 

At the demo day I was testing a few lenses with my M9: Super-Elmar 18, Summilux 24, Elmar 24, Summilux 35, Summilux 50 and Summicron 75 and all was spot, so I think you should not expect any focusing error.

I'm sure you will find it much more usefull and versatile than the Nocti and with almost the same quality (with some benefits also). IMO the 50 Lux is the most beautiful and interesting M lens.

12 months for the Summilux 35.

 

I'm coming up on a year for the 35 lux. Fortunately I have another 35 to keep me company while I wait. I am now low on the dealer's list, so we are hoping by the end of June.
