Advertisement Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Hi junix, Take a look here What you think about the Limited Edition Leica Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens (Silver Anodized)?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

If Leica was able to get the same aspect through time on different metals surely they would do it. If they do not it's more likely that they can't. Welcome, dear visitor!

Harvard Kiwi Posted August 19, 2021 Share #23 Posted August 19, 2021 I think that is a beautiful lens and if I had a beautiful silver bodied Leica, I'd consider it. I like that we have some options. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest. An M10 is a 5 figure item in my currency. Many of the major lenses produced by Leica are too. The prices for this equipment have quickly gone from stiff to another level entirely. I’m a person of reasonable means. I have Leica equipment. I’m grateful the company still exists, I greatly enjoy using M equipment. However, to my eye at least, items like this lens under discussion are some kind of vile jewellery for the oligarchy. There is only one purpose being served here and it is greed, nothing more. Maybe I don’t spend enough time in Mayfair, Monte Carlo or Macau these days but ‘basic economics’ is not what any of this is. Special editions whatever, apologist bullshit. 🙄 Jeezuz! Hold your water - it's just a lens. If you don't like the chrome version or its price, get the black version. Or get a Voigtlander. Or get a pinhole body cap. Problem solved.

roverover Posted August 19, 2021 Share #25 Posted August 19, 2021 ...i think it looks really nice and i feel having choices is better than not having choices, but why isn't this thread in the M "LENS" forum? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted August 20, 2021 Share #26 Posted August 20, 2021 Choices are always good. If I had a chrome M camera, I would get the chrome lens. My M10M is black (obviously) and I'm still trying to get accustomed to the look of my chrome 35 Summicron on it. It's actually not bad - but for some reason it looks a bit out of place or odd...

Isn’t there a thread somewhere about how good silver lenses look on black bodies? Anyway, I do like the deliberate clash of silver on black paint. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the beauty of this combination is at least part of the reason I am in no hurry to trade off my 240 Safari set for an M10R. This body and lens are one of Leica's most refined kits ever.

RF’sDelight Posted August 22, 2021 Share #32 Posted August 22, 2021 Even if it gets slightly off topic here but I certainly do love chrome lenses on black bodies. Here is a family shot from January 2020. The color difference between chromed brass and silver anodised aluminium is there but I think it’s subtle. More obvious is the difference in weight of course.

Gelatino Posted August 22, 2021 Share #33 Posted August 22, 2021 The color difference is noticeable when a silver lens anodized alumunium is paired with a silver body, or when next to a silver brass lens. The "panda " combo is not distasteful to me weither it's black body with a silver lens or silver body with a black lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it is. I find the chrome-plated brass a bit warmer, while the anodized aluminum is a bit colder in its silver tone or »shinier« like you mentioned at the beginning. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
