ordered one today from a Leica authorized dealer in Germany. The lens was serviced at Leica only a few days ago…

..so it was you who got the one from Foto Görlitz on eBay Germany? 🙂

Yes 😁 but I had to send it back, because of a frontfocus at f1.4 …at the moment I am waiting to see more Thypoch 75mm reviews as soon as it will be available. And the Voigtlander 50 1.2 in the new all-black version looks very interesting. But it also is not available and I didn’t found any Informations about the release date. 
 

I am not using the Visoflex EVF, so perhaps I will skip my 75mm-dreams for the Leica M and  buy a 50mm. Focusing a 75mm with f1.4 is really hard and the framelines very small. I think a 50mm would be a better partner for my loved Summilux 24mm in a 2-lens-combo.

..oh, wow - I had that on my list, and intended to buy - but then noticed it was sold earlier that day 💁‍♂️

Surprising / disappointing to read that it had focus issues even coming directly from a full service at Wetzlar 🙁

Sorry it didn't work out for you, but thank you for sharing that info - and I hope you'll soon find a lens that works well for you! ✌️

The problem is: You can send the Lens to adjust focus at 1.4 or stopped down to 2.0 or 2.8…and that‘s what Leica did in my opinion. But for me the amazing part of this lens is the magical rendering at 1.4 and not stopped down to 2.8 

I expect Foto Görlitz to put this Lens for sale again in the next days. Condition was really great. It’s very hard to find a Summilux 75 without dust inside…this lens was one of them. You can adjust focus at Leica for around 200€…but I didn’t want to send it in, pay for adjustment and wait a few weeks for the lens to return. And the focus ring was really stiff. But otherwise the lens is in mint condition.

A quick portrait of someone I just met at the mall. I briefly considered selling this lens for the 50mm f/0.95 Noct, but every time I see what the 75mm Summilux produces, I’m reminded why I could never part with it.

Don't sell the 75 Summilux. It's a wonderful lens. I would never give up my 75 Summilux.

Hi guys, I am new here. This is brilliant idea to share images wide open. I purchased a version 2 of 1983 last Saturday, ist that glow and CA normal?

I see here samples which don't have it.

Is it possible my lens has a glitch?

Stopping down to 1.7 it's almost gone, down to 2 it's gone.

But my intention is of course to use that lens wide open. SL2-S, ISO 100, 1/4000. Had to compress it to 75% for retaining full resolution, upload is limited to 2.44 MB. - I appreciate any reply.

f/1.4, 1/8000

f/1.7 or f/2, possibly f/2 because it's at 1/4000

 

maybe a bit of backfocus (lens issue) or an erroor in focussing (man issue). Lens does have curvature of field but you focussed far away and normally at 1.4 I can obtain sharp images with my sample (not razor sharp like newer lenses). Did you try focus a bit away and check?
