With all of this MFD talk I went and measured my 1966 Canadian 35mm v1 Pre-ASPH #2166xxx (which has v1 glass but housed in a very early v2 brass infinity lock lens body) and found the MFD to be .781 from shutter plane to point of focus. The focus ring on the lens barrel goes quite a bit past the 3 foot mark (see pic). This is an all original non-goggle lens and the weight (without hood) is 185g.

My Canadian v2, 2221XXX with infinity lock and the new glass formula, focuses to 0.85m.

I'm working my way through this inspiring thread and already, at page 26, I'm smitten and looking for 35mm Summilux pre-a to buy.  (I actually owned one years ago but foolishly sold it.) Here is my question.  Does anyone know if the pesky problem of some (though perhaps not most) Canadian copies of this lens not working on digital Ms also a problem for the the M11?  I am wondering if the particular shroud complication would be irrelevant on the M11 with its newer metering setup.   I would use the lens mostly on my film Ms, but occasionally on the M11 too.  

Thank you.

The rear shroud mechanical issue was affecting the M8 and M9 versions , not the more recent digital Ms.

I managed to luck into this New Old Stock titanium German-made 1990 Summilux pre-asph last week.  Perhaps my enthusiasm is getting away from me, but I'm not sure I've ever shot an image with an M lens any sharper than this one on the M11 shot at f/4, 1/1500th, ISO 3200.

Very nice :D  I agree, My Titan is also incredibly sharp all through the mid apertures. Congrats
