Reviving this thread on this incredible lens. Really looking forward to using it in the field on the SL.

 

Here are some images taken with this lens:

Please, please stop posting pictures with the 75mm Summilux!  :ph34r: Its giving me GAS.

 

 

I went with the 75mm APO and these picturs aren't helping...   It looks like a wonderfull lens, next time a have a few grand to spare I think I will go in the Summilux direction.

There is always a place for a 75 Summilux - even when a 75/2 is already in the household ;-)

Couple of Summilux 75mm pictures taken at max aperture on demo SL camera - some of you may recognise these two gentlman.

Yesterday found at Leica Outlet Store in Wetzlar:

Lens cap 14032 for TL-Apo-Vario 3.5-5.6 / 18-56mm Asph fits also on other lenses with filter size 60mm.

Finally, a lens cap with handle center pinch, which makes it easier to mount and remove the lens cap on the Summilux 75 1. Version than the original lens cap (right on the photo), if you would like to leave the separate lens hood permanently on the lens.

Other companies than Leica have been manufacturing lens caps with center pinch for some time, but the filter size 60mm seems too rare for a production.

Herr Doktor Karbe does not share the same opinion of the 75 Summilux.

 

Its 'imperfect' optically wide open. I doubt a lens designer will appreciate this even though it represented a state-of-the-art design when launched.

Thanks for the tip. Do you know if the exterior diameter of this new 14032 lens cap is the same as that of the regular E60 14290? Just curious as i wonder if the new 14032 lens cap would fit my E60 Summilux 75/1.4 with built-in hood.

Lens cap 14290 has an exterior diameter of 68mm at the somewhat wider side, where the outer fixing straps are (hope this is the right technical term :) ).

Lens cap 14032 has an exterior diameter of only 60mm everywhere, which closes flush with the Summilux or its UV filter.
