Not for current production lenses, they seem to be in stock readily. But some silver lenses of production are rare and can be harder to find – like the 28 Summilux in silver. The 50 Cron v5 in silver that I bought, it's out of production and there are fewer of them for sale used, but they're still out there. I think I saw three on eBay in silver but an endless number in black. Many of the current silver lenses are anodized silver on aluminum, so finding ones that are silver chrome finish on brass is more appealing to me. I think the current 28 Summaron and 50 Lux in silver are chrome on brass. Edited March 3, 2023 by hdmesa 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was produced in Jan 2023, it falls in the category of MP and M6’s with bad batches of pressure plates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No scratches and no other problems with new mp. Just perfect negatives. Production date of my mp is 23.01.2023. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPs have been reported as scratching film since at least 2014 and it would seem that the pressure plate claim emulates from Leica NJ and not Leica Wetzlar.

And I see elsewhere that your 'scratching' MP turned out to be a problem with the lab. What with Jono Slack's M6 that was reported as non-scratching, but now appears to scratch, it is getting difficult to tell the real facts.

We just need forum users to learn to read long threads like this backward. It's a surprisingly-good way to catch up and not be sucked into a problem halfway through the thread that got resolved toward the end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hdmesa Posted March 3, 2023 Popular Post Share #4889 Posted March 3, 2023 35/50 Cron 2-lens kit is complete. Final purchase once my wallet recovers will be to re-purchase the 28 Summaron, which will give me 28/35/50 all with silver chrome on brass. By the way: Wow, the brass 35 Cron is DENSE! Feels like it weights twice as much as the brass 50 Cron. Going to be able to get some really steady shots with that lens on there 🙂 Welcome, dear visitor!

I have a few for my silver chrome cameras and the color match is spot on. ...wasn't a fan of cold shoe covers until someone pointed out they reduce the chance of the cold shoe snagging your favourite item of clothing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post gave me goosebumps... Jokes aside, these are better pictures and more emotional and convincing to get a silver MP than the cold boring ones on the Leica Online Store 😃 I see you have a black paint Voigtlander on there, Mehrdad... Any chance you still have pictures of this combo that are not Macro? I'm wondering how the black paint VMs would look on my silver M7 for quite some time now... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
