Why exactly?

I have previously expressed a desire to try analog photography, and I guess he is eager for me to try this. 😄

Nice one @evikne.  Good to see you have the lens back and enjoying. What performance differences are you noticing since the work on your lens ? Just curious really if you are noticing things as I know you always loved this lens . 

Sorry if I missed the update elsewhere :)

Thank you! After the CLA I experience less flare and focus shift, and everything feels sharper and more controlled. After being disassembled and reassembled, it actually feels like a completely different lens, and I feel an urge to "rediscover" it. The focus ring is also a bit tighter. I actually liked it when it was looser, but I guess I'm getting used to it.

Evikne, 

These pictures really show the OOF areas to be very pleasant to me and the majority of my pictures are environmental portraits.  I do like the background blur at full aperture more than the ASPH that I currently use.  Currently, there is both a V2 and V3 Summilux for sale, both mint.  Superficially, I do like the vintage external looks of the V2 better but know that it has a 1m vs 0.7m minimum focusing distance.  Are there other important differences between the 2 versions?  The internet says the optical formulas are the same.  My 50 Lux ASPH is silver and the V3 Summilux V3 for sale is silver as well; too close in looks for me to tell them apart.

Hi, and thanks for the question. 

I have read that the v2 has a longer focus throw than v3, but I haven't tried it myself. Some people seem to prefer the more accurate focusing with a longer focus throw, but it will also be slower. Personally, I prefer a faster focusing.

Good luck with your choice of lens!

I have just received the V2,  If I could get choose, I would opt for the v3. Mainly because of the minimum focus distance and the filter (e46 instead of e43 with old 0,5 pitch). However i have never ran across the v3 so I have settled for a really nice V2 made in my year of birth…

Thanks to your enthusiasm, just ordered a version 2 50 Summilux which should be coming in about a week.  I do have a version 1 and ASPH Summilux to compare it to. After starting out with Leica and solely modern ASPH lenses, wide angle, large DOF with most everything in focus, I am now relishing the wide open, OOF effect using vintage lenses with less technical perfection.  A major part of my picture taking includes portraits of my daughter as well;  I am enjoying this new approach very much..
