Dominique.valladolid Posted January 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry I'm quite new to the forum although I have been lurking before I got into the Leica. The forum influenced me to try it out and I think Leica is a disease! The only cure is to buy buy buy! Anyway, there has been a few raves about the black paint version and I have one mounted on my A7r not sure if its the anodised or black paint. Did they even make an anodised Rigid cron or it only happen the version after the rigid? Thanks for shedding some light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Dominique.valladolid, Take a look here Black paint or Anodised?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
sabears Posted January 22, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 22, 2014 It is not either of the two, this is a refinished/repaint one. Kind regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominique.valladolid Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks for the info. Here's some of the pics I took on different sides. Not sure how hard it is to paint one because the finish looks pretty daym good to my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted January 23, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 23, 2014 I would agree, it looks like a refinished lens. There is no optical difference between a black paint Summicron and a chrome version, but the genuine black paint lenses go for a considerable premium even when chipped and used. This one, even if it was 'new old stock' and never been out the box before, doesn't have the right paint finish to be genuine. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
