luigi bertolotti Posted January 20, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 20, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wetzlar and Canadian items had indeed different feet scales in that period : Germany pass from feet to feet/inches, and inches at low distances, ending at 28", while Canadians (the ones with s/n on barrel' side, not on front ring) do keep feet, using decimals ending at 2.5 ft. Dunno if was ALWAYS like this at those times (clearly, isn't like this for today lenses)... but is easy to verify for many 11817 / 11819 that one can find around.

Orient XI Posted February 11, 2014 Share #9 Posted February 11, 2014 I have an M3 35mm f/2.8 Summaron (No. 20495xx) which is calibrated in the same way as the above 50mm Summicron. To help those in metric lands and younger Britons 12" (inches) = 1' (foot). One metre = 3' 4" or 40". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoism Posted February 12, 2014 Share #10 Posted February 12, 2014 ....while Canadians (the ones with s/n on barrel' side, not on front ring) do keep feet, using decimals ending at 2.5 ft..... I have a Canadian 35mm Summicron which passes from feet to inches as well, just like this 50mm Summicron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted February 12, 2014 Share #11 Posted February 12, 2014 I have a Canadian 35mm Summicron which passes from feet to inches as well, just like this 50mm Summicron. Normal (ending at 28") if it's rather old : the ones which end at 2.5' are the later (difficult to define a precise date... I'd say from 1975 around... yours, I think, has the serial number on front ring (as well as the last Summicron V4, which anyway have the "modern" scaling to 2.5') Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
