Leica bringing out a new summilux with "floaters". Just kidding thanks for pointing out what they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a direct comparison yet, but at least from the pictures it looks smaller than the Leica 75 Noctilux: Welcome, dear visitor!

Coltma Posted August 13, 2019 Share #14 Posted August 13, 2019 Got mine two days ago. I'm in China. Very nice lens to me. But just found something "wrong" in the bokeh part. Right now it's on the way back to the factory. Need to check the QC again. Welcome, dear visitor!

From the official online store at Taobao/Tmall. And you can get it in 2-3 days by the express service. Give the link (and money) to any Chinese guy you trusted. They can easily order it for you. I live in Shanghai. There are local dealers too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted August 16, 2019 Share #18 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) My copy arrived yesterday. Super-fast and free DHL shipping. Below are a couple of test shots in the garden at f/1.25, both on the M10. Initial feedback and observations: - The lens is hefty chunk of metal and glass and appears to be well constructed, with smooth focus and firm aperture clicks. The 0.8m MFD is nice. Pity it didn't come with a hood. I have ordered a 62mm generic one on eBay. - Focus was a tiny bit off out of the box, but I managed to fix it in a couple of minutes using the little hex screwdriver provided (note: my copy arrived without focus calibration instructions and one of the 3 grub screws that retain the focus adjustment ring appears to be missing - not great. I have asked 7a to send me both, but have yet to hear from them). - Very sharp it ain't - at least wide open - but it's better @ f/1.4 and much better from f/2 onwards. I find the oof areas (aka bokeh) rather pleasing. - Concave field curvature is perhaps the most unexpected characteristic of this lens (or maybe it's just my copy): it's quite noticeable, even in the center of the frame. I can see how it could be useful for portraits, but I'll need more testing time. Very preliminary conclusion: based on what I have seen, it's no competition for the Noctilux 75/1.25 (I did not expect it to be in the same league), but it could turn out to be an interesting portrait lens. A comparison with the CV 75/1.5 would be intriguing - does anyone know if one has already been made? Welcome, dear visitor!

humerc Posted August 16, 2019 Share #19 Posted August 16, 2019 Got it today. It looks like a very interesting lens. Build quality is good. Have to play with it the next few days... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted August 17, 2019 Share #20 Posted August 17, 2019 A quick update to my post above after receiving a reply from 7a: there are only 2 screws, not 3, on the focus ring adjustment - and a video explaining the calibration procedure can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSmtmQs-oxc&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
