jaapv Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share #21 Â Posted February 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Are you sure about this? I had a current version Elmar a couple of years ago and the rear element protrudes quite some distance when in the collapsed position - enough I'd think to foul the shutter blades on an M8. I'm 100% sure. I've been using this lens, which I got new from Solms three weeks ago on both my M8 bodies and collapsing it without any problem. It maybe Leica redesigned it for the M8 compared to older versions, I don't know. The booklet carries a warning for the M5 and the CL but not the M8.

jaapv Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share #22  Posted February 14, 2007 good news!I allways liked that 50/2.8. The lens is said to be quit good at short distances. However on the M8 kind of long for walk around. Another nice, small lens is the 35cron (pre-asph). cheers, Tom  I like the framing discipline a 50 mm lens on the M8 imposes.I must admit I thought the 67 mm focal lenght equivalent would be neither here nor there before I really tried it, but in real use it is rather nice....

nikau Posted February 15, 2007 Share #24 Â Posted February 15, 2007 Mine, serial 37273xx, collapses right into the M8 with no problem or damage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
