Bought 35 f1.4 Summilux in '65 with first M. Flat images. Soft. Traded it quickly for Summicron. Happy move.  

At f/1.4, probably true. But if one need a 35 f/1.4 in 1965, the competition was.....? ;)

Bought a 1974 35mm Summilux three days ago. Nice contrast to the images. Sharp and with very much hoped-for 'glow'. Keeping it. Happy move.

FWIW the very first snap taken (f1.4 1/4000 @ ISO 200; M-D Typ-262) purely as a test-frame so no points for artistic content whatsoever but "flat" or "soft" it ain't;

Brilliant, welcome to the Pre Asph family! what is it replacing ? 

Thank-you Steven. I have yourself and all the others who have been posting in this thread to thank!

It isn't replacing anything; it's augmenting a '54 Summaron (M) f3.5 which I've been using for over 40 years. So far I've not been able to use it much - the snap above was taken as a test-frame literally on my way home after the purchase - but from what I've seen so far I suspect it might replace my long-term #1 lens in the favourite stakes.

The wider rendition is more pleasing, but it does go to show that content and composition is everything!

My 35 pre-asph is a later model, made in 1987 (don’t know which version, which batch, and don’t care really).  It came with the hood and a Leica UV filter in the hood (not the screw in type).  I am suspecting that the filter is responsible for the flare.  When I was young(er), my father used to encourage me to fit UV filters to all my lenses to protect the front element.  I have since moved away from that, favouring lens hoods instead.  Does anyone else have experience of these filters on the 35 pre-asph - it’s a Leitz Serie 7 UVa filter?

Contrary to what i read here and there, filters always increase and never reduce the risk of flare and ghost images especially in dark environments but others mileage do vary and filters can be useful to reduce IR contamination (M8, M8.2) or to protect the front element vs water or sand. But you know this by heart obviously. In the case of the Summilux 35/1.4 v2 like yours (and mine) Series VII or 49mm filters in a Leica 12504 hood are the way to go.

Series filters have no thread, and are held under or inside the lens hood.  I have the UVa for my 35 Summilux pre-asph and an ND for my 21 Summilux ASPH.

Thanks for the confirmation, LCT.  I do have Sev5n and Fomatt Hitech filters with holders, and other screw in colour and ND filters, but I’m always a little reluctant to use them for the flare issues you refer to.  I will try my 35 pre-asph without the filter and see if it makes a difference.

Cheers
John

This area was highly involved in the development and production of the V-1 and V-2 rockets during WWII. Nowadays converted to a peaceful museum, remembering the actrocity.
