amorteguy Posted February 14, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted February 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is the 35 Summilux 1.4 ASPH available in chrome? I don't see it on the Leica website, it's not listed on B&H, but I have seen them on KEH page once and another new Leica dealer lists one in stock. Anyone know the story? Â I do not want a black lens with a chrome body camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbretteville Posted February 14, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted February 14, 2007 Anthony, There was a crome version (product #11883), but it has been discontinued. If you want a new silver 35mm ASPH, you'll have to go with the 35 Summicron ASPH. Alternatively try and find one 2nd hand. Â - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know the story? I do not want a black lens with a chrome body camera.  As of today, the official price list of Leica (Italian rep.) DOES NOT include 35 1,4 chrome: they include 35 2 and 50 1,4 chrome (same price as black) : think the best thing is to submit official request at Leica Co. site: they surely answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted February 14, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted February 14, 2007 The 1.4/35asph in chrome has been discontinued, as correctly mentioned above. Since it was discontinued only pretty recently, you may still be able to find them NIB at various dealers. Good luck in finding it. Â Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoin Posted February 14, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted February 14, 2007 I do not want a black lens with a chrome body camera. Â I was thinking the same way, chrome body and chrome lenses. I have a 35'lux Asph and 21 Asph in chrome which I prefer for the weight and build feel of the lenses. However I also have 50 and 75 cron's in black and they look just as well on the chrome body IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Rose has at least one left, new.  Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
