Stephencdean Posted September 9, 2020 Share #21 Posted September 9, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I agree with lawman, the lens I have is (thankfully) darker than the those of Erikvw official pics. Suspect it is processing preferences. I see darker colour green with my eyes as well though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaswchapaman Posted September 14, 2020 Share #25 Posted September 14, 2020 Hello, does anyone know if the green paint is applied to brass as opposed to aluminium as in the standard version, similar to the older black paint lenses. The weights of the two different lens are listed differently on the UK Leica store website: 490g for the safari and 257g for the standard production model, Many thanks, Tom.

Is it really 490g? That's 50g heavier than the 28 Summilux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In daylight they look brighter then with artificial indoor light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaswchapaman Posted September 16, 2020 Share #31 Posted September 16, 2020 Great, thanks Erikvw. Must be an error in Leica UK’s info. I did receive an answer from them. They we not sure why there was a weight difference between the two models so they will ask Leica Germany and get back to me. I think you’ve answered the question! https://store.leica-camera.com/uk/en/summicron-m-28mm-f/2-asph.-edition-safari Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF’sDelight Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share #32 Posted September 18, 2020 Since I’m not interested to buy a M10 Safari or M-P Safari here is my the black body green lens combo. PS: Admittedly a M8.2 Safari with a reasonable price tag would be very tempting to me—especially combined with this lens. Welcome, dear visitor!

I was wondering how and if you received (purchased) the 28mm Safari Summicron you were looking for. I enjoy the different camera/lens color combinations as opposed to just the prescribed chrome-chrome or black-black. Wondering #2: How is the round-telescoping lenshade to use? Prefer it versus the screw-in rectangular style? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to see the lens in the flesh before finally buying it. It was the first of 2–3 lenses they expected to receive, they said. But at the moment it's also available in the German Leica Online Store. The lens shade was even more a trigger to me than the Safari paint. It works almost like the lens hood on the 50mm Apo-Summicron and exactly like the hood on the 35mm Summilux Zagato Edition (see this Leica video at 1:45). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marckyokay Posted December 11, 2020 Share #37 Posted December 11, 2020 Damn I love the lens hood design and how compact it looks when the hood is not pulled out... Does anyone have a regular Summicron 28mm ASPH (Screw in metal hood) and can put them side by side? I’m saving for a 28 and am really interested in the Safari design but not a fan of the green... super curious how they compare design wise, with and without hoods...

Marckyokay Posted December 14, 2020 Share #39 Posted December 14, 2020 Oh thanks! I didn't know of this web picture, only knew the one on the Leica Shop Website, and to be honest that one looks a bit weird, more stubby and squished than the real life pictures I've seen here. This comparison makes more sense... After seeing this I wish even more they would finally bring this Cron in regular black... So wonderfully compact it beats my old Elmarit with hood.

Mahesh Posted August 1, 2021 Share #40 Posted August 1, 2021 @Kcwong @Stephencdean @RF’sDelight I've been bit by this 28 cron bug and have been thinking of it. How have you been enjoying the lens so far? I suppose it is no different to the standard black but I always wonder if Leica manufacturers the special versions even with greater tolerances etc?
