Al Brown Posted September 28, 2021 Share #41 Posted September 28, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Loving this lens more and more. Two questions: 1. Does the 5.5 filter come between the hood and the lens or in front of the hood? 2. Does the M39 filter (with different pitch) barely tightly fit on the hood or directly on the lens?

The hood has no internal thread for filters or anything else. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberti Posted September 28, 2021 Share #46 Posted September 28, 2021 The M-Rokkor hood does have a thread on the front as shown, it allows filters and the cap to be placed. Welcome, dear visitor!

erniethemilk Posted September 28, 2021 Share #48 Posted September 28, 2021 I have the Leica Summicron 40mm, it was my first Leica lens and I picked it up for a song! I’ve recently had it CLA’d and it’s come back in superb condition - it renders as well as my 50mm f2 and just a hair off the same sharpness S the 35mm Summicron ASPH V2 I have. I tend to use it on my M6 mainly as it makes for a small, lightweight option. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Summicron 40/2 from 1973 is a direct clone of the Summicron 35 v2 (11309) from 1969. See the details and their super similar double Gauss six element diagrams here.

plaidshirts Posted October 6, 2021 Share #52 Posted October 6, 2021 On 9/22/2021 at 7:29 AM, Brancbūth said: So just for clarification-- do you know if the Heliopan UV filter has an internal thread pitch of 0.75, or is it 0.5? I would assume, based on the fact that it accepts the rubber hood, that it is 0.75. I just picked one up for my Summicron-C and was hoping for a 0.75 --> 0.5 conversion, but oh well. C'est la vie.

robert_parker Posted October 6, 2021 Share #53 Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) It's certainly a very enjoyable (and light) lens to use - very much in the Leica ethos - in these examples on the original Leica CL using Ilford XP2 Super Welcome, dear visitor!

digbyhp Posted January 18, 2022 Share #58 Posted January 18, 2022 For those using this lens on digital, what lens profile do you use in the lens detection menu? I could not find the Summicron-C 40mm in my M11's lens menu, so I just used the 35mm/f2 as a proxy. Of course, looking through the EVF is fine, and it exposes fine as well, but of course the lens info in the metadata is wrong. Not a biggie, but curious what others have done.

lct Posted January 18, 2022 Share #59 Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) The Summicron-C 40/2 is not coded by Leica, reason why you won't find it in the lens profiles list of your M11 i guess. The lens has the same moderate barrel distortion as the Summicron-M 35/2 v3 more or less so you can choose the profile of the latter. It won't correct for anything else than distortion though if the M11 behaves like my M240 and digital CL from this viewpoint. Edit: The code number of the 35/2 v3 is 11309. If you don't find it in your lens profile list you can choose 11310 or 11311 instead. Those are the code numbers of black and chrome Summicron-M 35/2 v4 the distortion of which is very close to that of the 35/2 v3. I would not choose the profile of Summicron-M 35/2 asph lenses though (11879, 11882) as they have a mustache shape distortion.

Lens detection for an M camera does not correct distortion, but only vignetting. Though Lightroom may apply a "correction" of distortion if you enable the "profile correction" and it detects a certain lens profile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
