box86rowh Posted September 9, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am trying to get a little info on black Summaron 35mm 2.8 lenses. I know they made some in black paint, but did they ever make black anodized lenses? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted September 12, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 12, 2014 Surely the few ones were made in paint only : they belong to a time in which this was the process for black items... black anodizing entered later, and, above all, I think is highly uneven that a rather complex process as anodizing would be used for one-of-a-kind / special order items.

Here is a picture of one, what do you think? http://p1.la-img.com/241/60235/29827961_4_l.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted September 14, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 14, 2014 I am trying to get a little info on black Summaron 35mm 2.8 lenses. I know they made some in black paint, but did they ever make black anodized lenses? Thanks! It is more likely that the lens was painted in black lacquer, as were very many later..

jaapv Posted September 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 14, 2014 I think somebody managed to fit it in a Summicron mount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted September 14, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Curios item... is worth noting that the Summarons that would have been "logical" to be finished in black (the SM models for the "Swedish Army" black Leica IIIG) were on the contrary made in std. chrome (at least, all the "3 Crown" Summarons that I have seen are like this). A Goggled Summaron in black paint is currently for sale on ebay... the seller writes clearly that is a fine made 3rd party repaint (with red feet distance numbers) Those black Summarons do appear time to time on auctions.... here is one that was sold time ago from Westlicht : it had an autoritive expertise of originality (Van Hasbroek) and was sold for lot of money, Welcome, dear visitor!
