Ted W Posted October 15, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 15, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is it correct that there are no optical differences between the made in Canada version of this lens and the one actually marked "E55"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fernando_b Posted October 15, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 15, 2012 Which one? However, optically there are absolutely no differences! Fernando. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted W Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted October 15, 2012 Which one? However, optically there are absolutely no differences!Fernando. I keep seeing 90s that are labeled "Leitz Canada" and they have a different hood design, I think, than the ones labeled "E55," which presumably were made in Germany. I believe these are all E55s, though, from an optical design standpoint. I think the only optical change was when they went to E60. I just want to make sure I have this correct.

The non-APO 90mm Summicron-R was made originally as a 2-cam lens with 2-piece hood using Series VII filters, secondly as a 3-cam lens with 2-piece hood and Series VII filters, then as a 3-cam E55 lens with 2-piece hood, and last as a 3-cam E55 lens with 1-piece hood. As far as I know there were no optical changes before the E60 (APO) version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xalo Posted October 24, 2012 Share #7 Posted October 24, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) last as a 3-cam E55 lens with 1-piece hood. Hm, my E55 1-piece hood is an R-only. I also wondered if there where any optical changes... it sure seemed lighter and more compact than the earlier versions I'd seen, but this of course can just be the mount.
