Aloisius Posted August 11, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) So I just called Leica in order to get a replacement screw for the lens hood for my silver Summilux-m 1.4 50mm ASPH and they asked for my serial number. Oddly, it does not appear on the lens anywhere. I had to go dig out its original box (purchased last year from a dealer) in order to find it. Is this normal? Welcome, dear visitor!

k-hawinkler Posted August 11, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2014 No. On my black lens the markings are in your last image. Yours seem to be missing. Weird, no? What are the first 4 digits of the SN#? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted August 11, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 11, 2014 You are missing the ring that identifies the lens, gives the filter size and the serial number. Mine is a 11891 the black version. I can take a picture if needed. Did you buy the lens new? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted August 11, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 11, 2014 It should look like this....... Welcome, dear visitor!

Bill W Posted August 11, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 11, 2014 I would contact the dealer and have them send it back to Leica. If you were ever to try and sell it, you would have difficulty. I am guessing Leica can at least assign a new serial number to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted August 19, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 19, 2014 The front ring with s/n and other writings is rather easy to be unscrewed off... but I suppose your lens has been always like this, and is definitely a problem to be solved : btw, it's very strange that this absence wasn't noticed at the time of buying... at least by the dealer...

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted August 19, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 19, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Could it come loose and got lost unnoticed? If you don´t use your gear a lot you might not realize a slightly different appearance. The receipt should show the number, taken when it was there.

aesop Posted August 19, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2014 ...seems the OP has an unmentioned issue (within this thread, that is) with the front end of the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
