Lex AFAIK, the Simlar 50/1.5 and its successor, the Topcor 50/1.5, are original optical designs made for Leotax RF cameras. They are very loosely related to the Xenon/Summarit in that they are from the same era and are based on a double gauss formula. If memory serves, they also have 7 elements, but these are arranged differently. The Simlar/Topcor design is significantly more compact than the Xenon/Summarit one. I have taken a quick iPhone shot below, which shows this (despite some distortion...) From left to right: Xenon, Summarit, Simlar and Topcor. Also, in my experience, both the Japanese lenses have more contrast and are more "usable" (less prone to flare) than the German ones. They are remarkably sharp for their age, and produce vivid colours. On the downside, production was very limited and they are hard to find in good condition - and therefore also more expensive.

tommonego@gmail.com Posted November 26, 2020 Share #6631 Posted November 26, 2020 I bought a 65 Elmar, have been trying to figure out how to use it on my CL without a Viso head, bought a M to Nikon adapter and I am using Nikon extension tubes, seems to be working well. Did Leica make tubes to bypass a Viso II or III. The combination seems to be working well: Welcome, dear visitor!

I'd have to agree that my v2 black is slightly better optically than the silver v1 I had. Strangely, after I bought it through a well-known online auction house I found that the previous owner had converted the black 65/3.5 Elmar-V to a 55 mm filter thread and in doing so lost the circular front plate with all the lens's details. The price was right so all was well. All my 65/3.5 Elmar-V shots are unavailable to me for the moment so here's one with my 21/2.8 Kobalux and my M9P to keep things going. Welcome, dear visitor!
