In some cases body parts where ex ALCAN and had made in Canada engraved on them.Leica made alteration to the mount which reduced the weight by 40 grams so the lens was now 560 instead of 600 grams << snip One correction, ALCAN is an acronym for Aluminium Canada. The raw materials may have been produced by ALCAN but the finished lens parts to which you refer to were made by ELCAN which stands for Ernst Leitz Canada.

Popular Post evikne Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share #43 Posted December 24, 2019 My 75mm Summilux had to go several times to service because of back focusing. When I finally got it back in perfect condition one year ago, it was a pleasure to use. Here is a picture from the first time I used it when it came back, and I could nail the focus every time. It has been one of my favorite lenses ever since. Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest Posted December 24, 2019 Share #44 Posted December 24, 2019 10 hours ago, Kim Dahl said: Hey. May I ask what is the fair price of 75 summilux? As an addition to my previous post i would reccomend that if you are offered a copy which meets your particular requirement just buy it. Prices don’t usually drop. I paid £1100 about 12 years ago for a 50mm F1 noctilux last version. 75mm Sumilux where around the same cost.While Leica are now charging around 10k £ for these lenses in the latest versions they are as good as money in a bank.

If you are able to keep it as mint as it is, which is easier with this 75 than with the Summicron 35 iv, which is more prone to wear but is in 10 years nearly doubled in price.

james.liam Posted December 30, 2019 Share #48 Posted December 30, 2019 Maybe the RF needs adjustment? I have an M6 0.85 and focus accuracy is superior to 0.72 magnification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He moved around quite a bit in a badly lit room, therefore I had problem not only with focus, but also motion blur. With digital I could use much higher shutter speeds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Hi- with M10 did you use the rangefinder or evf? Before you sent your lens in, at what distances did you check for back focus? Thanks- looks like perfect focus now 😬 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you sent your lens in, at what distances did you check for back focus? Thanks- looks like perfect focus now 😬 I always use the rangefinder only with all my lenses. Before the service, I tested the lens with my Spyder Lenscal at a normal portrait distance (2–3 m), but the focus didn't even hit the ruler. Instead it focused somewhere behind. At longer distances the back focusing increased even more, maybe 1 m at 10 m focus distance. Not very reliable, in other words. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. This is about knowing your lens, or learning to know your lens. And this is why I disagree so much with the clichee: (buying another lens or camera) “won’t make me a better photographer” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make some gorgeous images with your camera and lenses so this is not criticism directed a you, more of a general observation. I own the Summilux M 75mm so fully agree the lens has very nice transition between focus and out of focus areas (provided examples to the thread), but are we not giving lenses like this mythical qualities? i was making similar images (look similar to me on the large computer screen) with most recent Nikon Z 24mm f1.8 lens on the full frame sensor (Z7), this being Leica forum it is not within the rules to post such image. Sure thing, there would be obvious difference in field flatness between 24mm and 75mm lenses but focus/out of focus aesthetics is becoming discipline on its own and almost any lens, especially fast one can produce image with sharp background and blurry background all depending on the background and the distance between the camera and subject in focus. I always thought fast lenses were made to deal with the problem of slow film and dim light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
