wparsonsgisnet Posted February 8, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted February 8, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought the beautiful and inexpensive (NOT) 35 'lux FLE yesterday (partly Bill Wendlandt's fault) and am mightily pleased. Â My dealer let me know he had it and a couple of 50 FLE's (on Wednesday). Thursday, with a night to think it over (really stupid), I bot the 35. Â There are 2 50 FLE's available still. Any interest, ping me. Â Regards to all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Hi wparsonsgisnet, Take a look here Bought the 35 FLE. 50 FLE's still available in BOS. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
algrove Posted February 9, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted February 9, 2013 There is a 35 FLE at The Pro Shop in Palm Beach, FL too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted February 9, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted February 9, 2013 Popflash has one too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest borge Posted February 9, 2013 Share #4 Â Posted February 9, 2013 To my knowledge there is no "50 FLE". Are you talking about the "50 ASPH"? (the 50 ASPH has floating elements though... But it is not "FLE" branded). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 9, 2013 Share #5 Â Posted February 9, 2013 Nor is the 35 Summilux "FLE branded". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted February 9, 2013 Share #6 Â Posted February 9, 2013 Yes, can you please use the term 50 Summilux ASPH or 50 APO Summicron. As I infer that you mean one or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 9, 2013 Share #7 Â Posted February 9, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Don't forget, lens availability is now much better than it used to be. Ask your preferred dealer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share #8 Â Posted February 10, 2013 Used the new 35 some yesterday -- we have a couple of feet of snow in Boston -- and did enjoy it. Â It is quite stiff compared to my other asph. I like the smaller hood, too. Â You know, these guys make nice stuff. Â Regards to all, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piblondin Posted February 11, 2013 Share #9 Â Posted February 11, 2013 How about proofreading the subject line before posting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 11, 2013 Share #10 Â Posted February 11, 2013 There's no need for that, thanks. Typo corrected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokoshawnuff Posted February 12, 2013 Share #11 Â Posted February 12, 2013 It is quite stiff compared to my other asph. I like the smaller hood, too. Â The 'stiffness' is typical of lenses with floating elements, it does lighten up a bit over time. Either way congrats on the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Austin, TX and I do not recall holding a weapon to you forcing you to purchase anything. You can use that excuse with you wife I guess. Were those 50's the APO version?

You can use that excuse with you wife I guess. Were those 50's the APO version? Â Bill (and William Palank), the 50's are not the APO. Didn't realize that FLE also applied to the APO. Â The 35 I bot (not a typo, but sorry for my shorthand) is the new FLE lens. The 50's I left behind (still satisfied with my 50 'lux asph -- Bill W, do NOT tell me that I would be better off ....) are the 'lux asph but not the APO. Â (How can I be so confused by the naming convention of the maker of my favorite lenses? I guess it's ok, because they're holding all my money.)
