MDA Posted March 6, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does any one else want this..?? I like chrome lenses...as long as they are compact..I find the Noct and Apo 90mm too ..hmmm..vulgar/massive in chrome, but all my other lenses are chrome finish when the choice was there... Now I´m in the market for a Apo Asph 50mm ... but I want int in chrome ... has anyone heard if Leica has plans for this ?? I believe their problems with inital backorders are over, and the lens is more or less in stock everywhere... BR Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Hi MDA, Take a look here M Apo-Summicron 50mm/2,0 in chrome finish...??. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Overgaard Posted March 7, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2016 You can always ask. Some times they will do it. They made a silver one for the "RED" camera that was auctioned, and a red edition of that lens for Dr. Andreas Kaufmann. When the Leica M Monochrom came out some asked for a silver version and they made it. What usually stops them from doing special orders like that is if they plan to do a limited edition or something themself. So ask and see what they say.

luigi bertolotti Posted March 7, 2016 Share #3 Posted March 7, 2016 It's a low volume lens... and redesigning the barrel to have a REAL chrome version wouldn't be worth for them, I think... maybe they'll make some "special edition" in chrome (or silver...) and... let's see for price...

Steve Ash Posted March 7, 2016 Share #4 Posted March 7, 2016 It is a high price but I do not have the impression it is of low volume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone asks let everyone know because I would also be interested in a silver one, Silver paint not Brass body, too heavy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 9, 2016 Share #6 Posted March 9, 2016 Leica sometimes makes the customer sign an NDA before acceding to this type of request. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted March 9, 2016 Share #7 Posted March 9, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm surprised they don't already offer a silver anodised or chrome one. I'm sure we're not the only ones who want one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
