Gregm61 Posted May 12, 2019 Share #21 Posted May 12, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would imagine, two years ago, they were including the hood to get rid of old stock. Back when the f2.5’s were the only Summarits, the hood was not sold with the lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Hi Gregm61, Take a look here Summarit 75mm 2.5 v. Summarit 75mm 2.4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stephan54 Posted May 12, 2019 Share #22 Posted May 12, 2019 You are correct. I bought a 2.5 a year ago and the hood was free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I bet the price was the combined prices of the two sold separately, perhaps even itemized. Unless, as noted, it was discounted to clear stock.

Gregm61 Posted May 12, 2019 Share #25 Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) The dual boxes (separate box for the hood) is a dead giveaway those items were intended to be (and in the case of the f2.5 Summarits, were originally) sold separately. Every new Leica lens I’ve purchased where the hood was sold as part of the package, the hood and the nicer leather cases were in the same box as the lens, including the current f2.4 Summarits.

You are lucky Lct, more than complete, at a very good price indeed. In Leica Summarit-M "2.5" brochure, (sorry for our non-french reader): " ... Certains photographes préfèrent travailler sans pare-soleil et nous avons décidé de ne pas les intégrer à l’objectif, ce qui permet de concevoir desoptiques particulièrement compactes et légères tout en réduisant le prix. Nous proposons bien entendu comme accessoires des pare-soleil en métal de grande qualité pour ceux qui y voient un complément intelligent à leur équipement. Les pare-soleil sont livrés avec le bouchon assorti. ..." with typos in text, but hoods were not included in the original package of Summarit-M 2.5 Please, have a look at page 14 and 15 of this Summarit-M brochure in french Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted May 12, 2019 Share #27 Posted May 12, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is the original brochure from 2008 if memory serves. My lens has been sold in 2016 together with the hood and a full Leica warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEC Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share #28 Posted May 13, 2019 Thank you all for your valuable feedback. One thing to add: I got the 75mm 2.5 for 1100.00 dollars. It’s in very good condition. If the seller doesn’t return the 2.5 for a 2.4, do you think it’s worth keeping the 2.5 for 1100.00? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not done any research as to how much the f2.5 Summarits are selling used other than they typically seem lower than the f2.4 units when I have as I looked in the usual Leica dealer hangouts. In your shoes, I’d want what I thought I bought but if the differences are negligible for your uses, that’s a call you just need to make. Tamarkin has a 75/2.5 in EX++ condition, with the hood and "complete" (all the “stuff” and in the box) for $950. Sounds like maybe you paid closer to used f2.4 version price to me, or at the very least the top of the used market for an f2.5 version, which i would expect to be darn near close to mint in the box.

darylgo Posted May 13, 2019 Share #31 Posted May 13, 2019 I purchased my 75/2.5 new when Leica lenses were impossible to find in stock. With hood the total price was close to $2000, the hood was not included, it was an optional add on. The OP should return it, the only exception for me would be if the lens is a good sample and focuses perfectly with my rangefinder, then I would consider it with a message to the seller asking for a partial refund.

stephan54 Posted May 13, 2019 Share #32 Posted May 13, 2019 I got mine with hood at 1100 in Tuebingen, so under 900 is a very good deal. Never got friends with the lens and tried to sell it as almost new in the classified section for 400, which did not work out. A dealer paid me a far better price and sold it for almost 700.

I bought one with a hood from a local seller for $650. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because I bought an advertised 2.4 but got a 2.5 in the mail. Debating whether to keep to return. Thanks, Michael. I owned the f2.5 version for many years and it is a fantastic lens to work with for a start. The size is a plus plus on my Ms. The IQ is good, I would say it's great for the price and build. I am not splitting hair here but they will always be someone out there who would be describing rocket science about these 2 lens but again I respect every individual's opinions. As you have asked, I personally cannot find any difference after shooting with the f2.4 which I have acquired recently. Just my 2 cents worth. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justru49 Posted June 7, 2020 Share #35 Posted June 7, 2020 Main difference is the minimum focus distance: the older 2.5 has 0,9 m, the newer 2.4 has 0,7 m. For me this is important. The rest ist nearly the same, within the performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephengv Posted September 20, 2020 Share #36 Posted September 20, 2020 Is the 2.4 and minimum focal distance a huge difference with the 2.5? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a significant difference on any lens if you shoot closeups. Otherwise none i can tell but i have no experience with the 75/2.4, only 90/2.4.

More than you would think. Due to lens extension factor - the farther the lens is moved from the sensor or film, the bigger the image it projects If you have ever used any kind of projector lens - computer, video, slide - you'll already know how this works. Move the projector and lens away from the projection surface (screen, wall, film, sensor) and it projects a bigger image. Same thing for most lenses (and the longer the focal length, the greater the effect). |>• |>• At minimum focus (0.7m vs. 0.9m) the f/2.4 focuses 28% closer - but will magnify an object 37% more - than the f/2.5.

tom0511 Posted May 31, 2022 Share #40 Posted May 31, 2022 I also once owned a 75/2.5 and liked the lens. I now use a 75/1.5VC at the moment which also seems to be a very good lens. Your sensor needs some cleaning Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
