brickftl Posted May 28 Share #1243 Posted May 28 5 hours ago, mmanda said: Oh brilliant, thank you. I will be hunting a V3. Clem kindly messaged me and gave me some very welcomed advice. I love your work @evikne your pics of whom I'm guessing is your daughter are just brilliant. And of course E46 is filter size! That helps. v3 has .7M min focus distance which is why I got it rather than v2 which has 1M min focus distance. FYI, Ye who is a Leica repair person who does CLA told me to stay away from v3, saying that they use a particular glue which deteriorates over time and causes lens separation which most repair people can't fix - can only be fixed by Leica. I ignored the advice and found a v3 that didn't have signs of that problem, and I don't expect it ever will because it won't be subjected to high temps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has to tolerate being photographed a lot. 😄 The diagram is very simplified of course. There are different colors and materials, and models that are rare and expensive. But the new Classic re-issue version (also called v4), is in a way a fusion of all, plus something new. Also worth considering if you'd rather have a brand new lens. fusion of all ⋯⋯pondering what v4 offer that v3 is lacking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen many direct comparisons, and I'm not good at interpreting MTF charts, but it apparently has a slightly more modern rendering in most respects.

It looks like a lovely lens and one I would like to try at some point. The main negative for me is the weight and possibly longer focus throw? I've never used it but I much prefer short throws on my lenses for how I shoot , some may prefer the longer and more accurate throw though. It is also in my opinion, a sexier looking lens than the V3☺️ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evikne Posted June 3 Author Share #1251 Posted June 3 (edited) BTW, the best review I've read about the new re-issue is this one by Milan Swolfs. It answers most of the questions one might have regarding the differences to the older versions etc. Edited June 3 by evikne 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
