Advertisement Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Hi Pixeleater, Take a look here I'm not sure, but is this the M Cron 35 APO?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Probably part of the mechanism to reach the assumed minimum distance of 0.3 m? My WATE is the only lens that goes below the usual 0.7 m for M lenses and you can feel a short but obvious resistance in the spiral walk when focusing below 0.7 m.

adan Posted March 2, 2021 Share #106 Posted March 2, 2021 The M rangefinder is limited to 0.7m - or a tiny bit closer - regardless of the lens used. The apparent increase of the lens movement to 0.3m is for use with EVF/live-view. The "resistance" in the WATE (and probably this lens) is mostly there to remind RF users that the RF is no longer operational and trustworthy past that point. (I also wonder if it actually takes another half-turn of the focus ring to get down to 0.3m from 0.7m - that may be Photoshop-fiction just to make the new feature obvious in the illustration). Leica has been - variable - in whether the focusing cam is brass with visible threads, or a plain black structure, with or without visible threads. At least as far back as the original Summarit set (2007). It is also interesting that there is now a knurled focusing ring, and not just a tab on the numbered ring. Leica did that once before, on the brief-and-rare 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical. Again, that may have to do with the extended focus range. Because at 0.3m, the "tab" would be on the top of the lens, and hard to access with a finger-tip anyway. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted March 2, 2021 Share #107 Posted March 2, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) The far protruding rear lens - or just it's edging - looks strange. One might need a rear cap from the Super-Angulon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's real and not a PS mock-up I'm thinking Italian Flag since it looks like the rear element would very close to the sensor. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted March 2, 2021 Share #109 Posted March 2, 2021 I just looked at my 28mm Summicron: the rear element protrudes as well - other than shown on the photo in #104 - though not as much as shown in the "photo"(?) of the new 35mm. A close rear element must not necessarily cause the "Italian-flag" problem. The diameter of the exit pupil is most important. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted March 2, 2021 Share #110 Posted March 2, 2021 Not sure if the lens would fit the digital CL with such a protruding rear element. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted March 2, 2021 Share #111 Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) The rear element of the 35mm FLE protrudes ca. 6mm, for the 28mm Summicron it's a little bit less. Let's wait and see - usually new announcements from Leica come thursdays. Edited March 2, 2021 by UliWer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted March 2, 2021 Share #113 Posted March 2, 2021 RE: rear element protrusion. Don't panic, people! (Geez!) - Any reason it would not fit (with the standard added depth of an M-TL adapter) on a CL? - I believe "Italian Flag" problems** depend on the position (not the diameter) of the exit pupil. And in any case, this is a 2021 lens - it will come from the factory with 6-bit coding (and associated firmware upgrades). - Since I credit Leica with more intelligence than, say , the average field mouse, I am sure they know exactly how large their rear caps are, and engineered this lens for compatibility . - Just for reference, here is a full-length portrait of the current 35 Summilux FLE - looks like the APO-Summicron protrusion is within 1mm of the same.

tgray Posted March 2, 2021 Share #114 Posted March 2, 2021 FWIW the Voigtlander 50 APO protrudes quite a lot into the camera. More so than my 28 Summicron. No reported issues at the edges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
