I live in Mexico, and here there are not Leica stores or authorized sellers at all. Leica don't exist. I would have to buy it used online. Or be lucky once I'll travel in the US (who knows when) to find one. Optically I heard is an amazing lens. Hard to focus and slow to work why? Just curious you will get discounted Summarit instead 🤣 Slow focus and long throw distance of 90 Cron is logical because its very thin DOF already. You put it on tripod and work on it slowly Alternatively, a few shots to get some luck. If one looks at DOF diagram, 90 Cron is similiar as 50 Noctllux but at much lower price and some footwork.

They seem to use that word and ‘out of stock’ interchangeably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted June 11, 2020 Share #67 Posted June 11, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can't afford it right now, I'm waiting for a better world situation. I just hope that when it will be the time, there will still be some available is some stores. If not, I will look for used one. Besides I never tried it or see it in person, do you know when you really feel that a lens can be a very good fit for your needs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1970 Posted June 13, 2020 Share #68 Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I live in United States and a local Leica shop was selling both the Elmar 24 mm and Summilux 24 mm at a significant discount. Both new with full warranties. If one desires this focal length and looks carefully you might be able to find it at a good discount. Frankly, I am a bit perplexed that Leica is discontinuing the 24 mm focal length in the M mount, but plans to release a 24 mm Summicron-APO in the L mount.
