TheEyesHaveIt Posted July 31, 2024 Share #231 Posted July 31, 2024 (edited) If the price wasn't a consideration, would folks go for this or the Leica Steel Rim Reissue? The CV has closer MFD, but the SR has lower distortion, better across the frame sharpness, and more of the glow (which I guess if you're buying either of these, it is for the unique character vs. something like an FLE). I personally like the warmer tendency of the SR vs. the cooler CV. Edited July 31, 2024 by TheEyesHaveIt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted July 31, 2024 Share #232 Posted July 31, 2024 (edited) Better sharpness i doubt it. My Nokton 35/1.4 SC v2 is not as soft as its reputation that seems to come from the v1 of the lens. I have no experience with the reissue though as i have a 'Lux v2 already. Edited July 31, 2024 by lct Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted July 31, 2024 Share #234 Posted July 31, 2024 Thank you but i feel hard to see a clear demo in that video. Do you know if there are larger photos available in order to do side by side comparisons? Just curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like the warmer tendency of the SR vs. the cooler CV. I test-shot a friend’s Nokton II in February 2023. I then tested a pre-owned Summilux Version II in June 2023, alongside a demonstrator FLE, at a Leica dealer. I decided that I could not justify the expense of either the Version II, because I believed the Nokton II to be better, or the price of a pre-owned FLE, but that I might eventually try buying a pre-owned FLE, as prices fell after the FLE II became more available. I finally decided to buy the Re-Edition Steel Rim, new, at the end of June 2023, when Leica USA received a small shipment of them. I got a good one, and have no regrets. The very excellent sample images, posted at the Fred Miranda forum, many by Fred, himself, helped me to decide that I would spend the money for the Re-Edition Steel Rim. Notably, the price of a new Steel Rim Re-Edition was the maximum I could hope to spend, without having to pay interest, and even that meant being very frugal, for the next six months. So, money WAS an object, for me, and remains so. My Steel Rim may well remain the only Leica M lens I ever buy new, rather than pre-owned. (I started Leica M shooting with a pre-owned Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, and a new original-version M10, made possible by a modest post-retirement financial windfall.)

I own the FLE v1 and it is a great lens. But it is “heavy and big” (though not at all when compared to most other systems!). So I was hoping to get something smaller for travel - but that can’t be the sole reason to justify the cost, so the SR or this CV also offer more character and different rendering style than the FLE (the SR more so).
