Advertisement Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Hi tatetate, Take a look here 50mm F/1.4 ASPH Summilux Brass/Chrome. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
dugby Posted June 26, 2015 Share #22 Posted June 26, 2015 I have also noticed new ones coming with builti in hoods? i cant see hoods in above mentioned pictures? correct me if i am wrong? The current aluminium bodied 50LUXFLE have built-in non detachable hoods. The current brass bodied 50LUXFLE have clip-on hoods, which in the above two images have not been attached. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatetate Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share #23 Posted June 26, 2015 Erf: I can see some Leica Silver/Chrome with attached Hoods too. Thanks anyways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted June 26, 2015 Share #24 Posted June 26, 2015 The present 50 Summilux ASPH E46 have built-in hoods; whether black aluminum or silvered brass. Special edition E43 versions, like the LHSA or recent brass black versions, have clip on hoods. Other silver brass models may be the pre-ASPH 50 Summilux Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted June 26, 2015 Share #25 Posted June 26, 2015 The current brass bodied 50LUXFLE have clip-on hoods, which in the above two images have not been attached. This is incorrect. The two finishes are identical in terms of design on the current lens, and the chrome has a built in hood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted June 26, 2015 Share #26 Posted June 26, 2015 Cheers, if i were to remove hood from Chrome version? would that be possible? Why would you want to remove it? The hood retracts to back below the filter threads. With the hood extended i would guess it blocks about 5% of frame lines at close focus, less at infinity focus. It is not a problem, and a factor you will need to get used to for the majority of lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatetate Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share #36 Posted June 26, 2015 Congratulations and enjoy! Great lens. I thought you were asking all these questions before you decided! Thanks, Actually i made up my mind later this noon, as i was going for pre-owned ones. i had option to choose between silver and black. Since i have silver M and after looking at pictures i pressed the trigger! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatetate Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share #38 Posted June 27, 2015 Brass and I believe its 470 Grams vs 335 grams Black! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecair Posted August 20, 2015 Share #39 Posted August 20, 2015 Wondering if anyone has used the heavier version of Summilux 50mm asph! I believe its 100 grams heavier because of brass frame. How does it feel on body compare to the lighter version? Anything else one can share will be appreciated. thanks Tim i once used one. I have to say, it is heavy. it goes well with the silver m240. but I traded it in for my 50 apo. don;t get me wrong, it is a great lens, but the chrome version is indeed heavy like a brick my suggestion is if you really like the look of it, try it on first before u buy it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
