Shepherdphotographer Posted January 31, 2021 Share #1 Â Posted January 31, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening, I would like to buy a Leitz Summilux-R 50/1.4, E48 or E55: I have read this article: http://www.marcocavina.com/articoli_fotografici/Leitz_Summilux-R_50mm_1,4/00_pag.htm Do you agree that the difference between the E48 and E55 versions consists only in the size of the filters? Thank you in advance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Hi Shepherdphotographer, Take a look here Leitz Summilux-R 50/1.4 E48 vs E55: Is the difference only in the 55mm filters?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted January 31, 2021 Share #2 Â Posted January 31, 2021 Depends on the optical version of the lens. If it is a v2 (11344 - https://tinyurl.com/y6g3yo99) it has 8 elements instead of 7 for v1 (11675, 11777 - https://tinyurl.com/y3aedq4u). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepherdphotographer Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share #3  Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) V2 is only 60mm, isn't it true? While there are two v1: the first, from 1970 to 1978, with 48mm filters and the second v1, from 1978 to 1998, with 55mm filters. I speak aboout only the first v1 and the second v1 (E48 and E55). Second type of v1 has got 55mm filters and "not geometric" numbers of v2. Edited February 1, 2021 by Shepherdphotographer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rely on Marco Cavina or ask your question on the Collectors forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
