It is quite heavy 335g vs 380g for the chromes, side by side with my black E46 pre asph 50 Summilux it is fractionally shorter so I suspect it is less front heavy, but it's still heavy in comparison to the black E46 pre asph 50. The black e46 pre asph 50 summilx is 275g

 

I had a lot of interest in picking up a 50 Summilux E46 pre asph in chrome and selling my black version as I really like the look of a silver lens on black body, but given what you say perhaps I should stick to my black version, especially as its mint, coded and recently CLA'd.

Yes, I was wondering that. The blog (which, unsurprisingly, is depressingly good) appears to consist of a number of themed entries that look to me like lightly curated collections from McCurry's archive. In other words, I assume most of the photographs are from his film days.

 

We can just assume, that the latest images could be from M9, but I cannot really tell...:(

My M9-p is away (having new vulcanite installed). I miss it. But not half as much as I miss the 75 Summilux it went with. I'll be very glad to see both back (although I'm dreading the bill).

 

Apparently Leica no longer makes the vulcanite that came with the (black) M9 and both M9-P's. When you get your camera back, could you report whether it has the original type vulcanite or the newer type found on the M240?

Here she is... back from an Express holiday in Germany, wearing the new leatherette and a freshly serviced 75mm Lux.
