Made for Kine-Exakta in Alu, very light-weight but not so bad for such an old an uncoated lens.

A couple of test shots with a 1955 Steinheil Quinon 50/2 in LTM on the M10. Both wide open at MFD, which is about 50-60cm with this lens (I used the EVF to go closer than the RF would allow).
The lens just returned from a CLA and is quite impressive now: very sharp in the center (look at the dust on the in-focus lightbulb in the B&W picture) with progressive fall-off, little vignetting, virtually no chromatic aberrations - and that beautiful Sonnar look. Only downside is a bit more distortion than I'd like.
Just a word of caution if anyone here stumbles on one of these: there are two M39 versions, one for Leica and one for the Braun Paxette. The Paxette version will mount, but won't work on a Leica camera without modification. Both look very similar, so double-check before buying.

MM + 1960 Summilux 35/1.4 v1 (aka "Steel Rim")

First one at f/2.8, second one wide open. A good measure of contrast added in LR.

Were you using an OLLUX lens hood, Ecar?

Pete.

Yes, Pete. Actually, a modern OLLUX clone - the real thing has become so difficult/expensive to find that I leave it in a drawer (perhaps it should go to a safe?).

Anyway, the clone is virtually identical (although heavier than the original hood) and the lens is optically in great condition and came back recently from a CLA, so as good as it's ever going to be.

It's the light that was truly ugly (milky white and hazy on a rainy day) when I took those pictures...

Compared to the v2, the v1 is an even lower-contrast lens. That's my 2nd copy of the lens in several years (I foolishly sold the 1st one...).
