At the end of the 1990s, I bought a second-hand Leica CL (built in the mid-1970s) with the Summicron-C 40mm. After a year, I put it aside and turned more to digital photography. More than two decades later, I bought a second-hand M 240 without a lens and remembered my old CL with the Summicron-C. The lens transplant was quickly completed. To sum up, I am totally thrilled with this little lens, which is almost 50 years old.

Leica M3, M-Rokkor 40 CLE Version, Vision3 5219

Since my Rokkor-QF developed infinity misalignment after going through the cold days in my trip to Korea in December, and I came to a bargain with a CLE ver on eBay from Japan, I decided to order it. It is in mint condition and so far works perfectly as my already owned rokkors. The focus ring is well dampened, the resistance force feedback and smoothness is on par with my German goggle 35 summicron v1, which is previously the best handling lens I’ve experienced. The Rokkor is a perfect companion for me and my M3, because I don’t like shooting 50mm but also I can’t help falling in love with the viewfinder of M3.

 Since I come to the world of Leica I have owned several 35mm lens but none of them can really kick the Rokkor 40mm out of my mind. The compactness, the image quality and characters and the budget friendly price—I love it so much. I purchased a goggle 35 cron for my M3 last November. Though it is also a great lens, now I am more leaning towards keeping the Rokkor and return the cron to the dealer…The keeper choice of 35/40mm in my heart is already the M-Rokkor 40. I’d rather go for a SA 21/3.4 to satisfy my curiosity to it!
