luxikon Posted August 11, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've got a 1979 Summicron-M 2/50 Made in Canada with play in the helical focussing. What are your experiences with this special lens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bocaburger Posted August 11, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2011 I've got that model. It was backfocusing on my M9 so I had a repairperson adjust it correctly, at the same time he overhauled the lens. I don't recall if it had play before, but it definitely doesn't now. The lens is 30 yrs old after all, and given the grossly inflated cost of the same (optically) lens today, I'd say it's not unreasonable to pay $100 to have it overhauled.

lct Posted August 11, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 11, 2011 I've got a 1979 Summicron-M 2/50 Made in Canada with play in the helical focussing. What are your experiences with this special lens? I have bought mine 30+ years ago. Never been cla'd since then. No play at all. It is a lens which deserves to be fixed imho. €500 sounds excessive though as there is no optical issue if i understand well. I would show the lens to a good repairman if i were you.
