Introduction This is the third lens in Leica's historical lens series where they revisit classics and remake them with modern glass and coatings, but with the original basic design. The two previ

Great review Jono I was fortunate to be beta tester and Leica asked me to do the official release photos taken with the lens. Shot on the M10-R

Help 😱! That's not a position I wish to inherit thank you very much! I'm quite sure that Erwin would also be horrified at the concept, he would be quite correct to think that I'm a complete lightweigh

You often see this price for Schouten Select items. I think it is to invite negotiations but also to prevent "buy it now" 

Yes, this is an advanced tactic in collectibles: set a hilariously high Buy it Now price with offers accepted, even if only to track the market on offers.

But ummmmm, have a good look at it before using!!!! There's no shark in this one but may be some extra content that was not on the original page!! ;)

On casual glance it appears just as the original, upon further review......

Ha! This is brilliant, I love it ! 
thank you for making me smile. And my photoshop skills are good enough to make it usable again. 
i didn’t end up getting the lens from Schouten, but someone else. It should arrive to its new home before noon tomorrow if the ups truck is on time.

It’s not photoshop, I just edited the content and took a screenshot. It’s easy to do on almost any webpage. Just go into “developer tools” and edit the content. You can do anything, edit text, add or delete text and photos, change the layout, etc. If it seems too daunting just let me know what the price you want and I’ll send you a new screenshot in the morning... I’m off to bed now!!

Wow, awsome !  Congratulations for this purchase ! If you compare with the black version, does it feel much heavier or is it still well balanced on an M ?

It is noticeably heavier. It won’t bother me on my SL which is a heavy camera anyway. 
On my MP, I’m telling myself right now (by right now in mean the honeymoon phase) that I will enjoy the extra weight/stability.

That's superb, Steven, the chrome 50/1.2 Noctilux asph on an MP3.  What dreams are made of.  All you need to do now is to pair the Noctilux with an original (1950's) MP in black.  They would be (even more) made for each other owing to the MP's frame counter collar and its genuine vintage style and lustre. 🙂

Get the sandpaper ready! Need to press a bit harder with silver chrome...

Seriously: beautiful lens, congratulations! Which model MP is that? I don't think it's an MP3.

Looking more closely I think you're right and it's a limited edition MP Olive.

Pete.
