Hi everyone,

I am obviously new here and wondered if i could ask a few questions.

 

Firstly can anyone ( if you are allowed, forum rules etc) recommend someone to service my M3 in the UK ?

serial number dates it to 1956 btw, if that matters

 

so onwards.

i have just come across a Zunow 50mm F1.1 which is fantastic.

but i had never heard of this lens before.

anyone out there know anything?

 

will leave it at that for now.

 

about me a bit. i use a Great Leica Cl and the M3 with the 40 summicron , the 90 elmar and now this 50 zunow.

 

 

thanks in advance

steve

 

Ps. if this is in the wrong place. oops.

Finding a Zunow is like winning the lottery .... Maybe one day I will find one.

Until then I would like to see some pictures

My Zunow 50 1.1 is a type 1, at serial 5525. The rear element really bulges out, requiring a deep cap. I inherited mine on a Canon IVSB, which have both been out for repair for a year. The Zunow seems in good shape, except a trim ring had split at a setscrew hole, and likely the setscrew went into the works, as the focus helical is jammed at infinity - so I haven't had a chance to really use it yet. It will be an expensive repair, but it certainly is an interesting lens.

Afaik, any which can be linked hereby (I see many on flickr, for instance): but if you don't mind to accept a resizing, direct uploading of pictures into posts is by far more used (button "attachments" - follow instruction on the wizard)

If you go to the top of the Customer sub-section here, there is a sticky that leads to all the details you need for repair specialists

 

At the top of the About the Leia Forum section, there are two stickies which show you how to upload photographs here.
