An outstanding photo. 👏👏  It is my personal b/w photo of the month, if not of the whole year 2023. Good to see that it was taken with a special lens.

You know what guys, I got the reissue of the steel rim, but somehow I did not connect with that lens in the same way as I did with the pre-lux…Can’t really put my finger on it, but the lens never felt as polished as the original steel rim…almost like Leica didn’t really try hard or even wanted to do this remake? Even if you compare the presentation, and attention to detail put into this remake, it’s nothing compared to the previous 3 remakes, in which they went to the detail of creating the plastic boxes, perfect replicas of the hood, ensuring they keep the body as is while making it more useful (e.g. nocti with filter thread), , etc…with the steel rim was like, ok here’s the lens, here’s two hoods that don’t work properly, and just for fun we made it e46 just to make it look larger and less symmetric.

Anyway, long story short, given there’s no stock at all, I just sold it for the same purchase price and got back a Summilux 35 pre-asph with brass infinity lock which is my favorite version of the pre-lux (same serial as the steel rim on a v2 body). Can’t wait to be back on this thread and share pics here.

Congrats

What I also didn’t tell you is that I got the Nikkor 3.5cm f1.8 ltm at the same time as I got the lux back…sooo, let me go ahead and share some shots from today with both lenses. 

Both wide open, taken in different instances but similar shot at MFD. Nikkor on top, Lux bottom. Shots straight out of cam, no editing.

Same as above. Looking to see the flare behavior. Nikkor is much stronger to flare, but when it flares it does not give the beautiful arc that is so unique to the summilux. 

Top shot is Nikkor, 2nd one is lux stopped down to f1.8, 3rd is lux wide open. All MFD, straight from camera. (PS - lux was using a yellow filter, thus the different ‘color’ in the sign).

Shot against the sun, same location. Here is easier to see which one is which : p 
Edited to taste, reduce contrast, add noise, etc.
