Shac Posted February 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi – I did a search on LUF but no luck so trying here. What are the identifying features of the 8-element 35 Summicron that could be converted between LTM and M mounts? I have a version 1 and am curious. Thank you in advance David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

antoninus Posted February 1, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2013 Hi David. The 8 element 35mm Summicron came in 4 variants. The chrome screw mount version had an E29 filter mount and focused down to 1 meter. Other variants with M mounts focused down to 0.7 meters. Regarding conversion of screw to M mounts, I have no idea but perhaps others will contribute to that. Ciao from Italy! David Tomei Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shac Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted February 1, 2013 OK searching on Leica WIKI has given me the answer – supplied of course by Luigi (many thanks) - there's a tiny screw in addition to the usual 3 (see Luigi's second image) http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-collectors-historica/117842-summicron-35mm-first-type-any-info-2.html Should have been more patient before asking my Q. Mine is not this type. Thanks Antonius by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Tomei I see a small typo "E29" ... you mean E39........no big deal, but it could cause some confusion... regards, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
