roverover Posted September 21, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I assume these are hard to find now. I believe that there were several hundred of the APO Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH “LHSA Edition Lenses in SILVER produced a few years ago. I have canvassed many of my known vendors and the Forum Classifieds, but so far, there are none to be found. Perhaps someone out there might know of an available example and How Many were produced? Please MESSAGE me if You may have seen one listed for sale anywhere, thanks. Welcome, dear visitor!

Suggest you leave your details with them. They were commissioned by @derleicamanof this Forum for the LHSA.

derleicaman Posted September 21, 2021 Share #3 Posted September 21, 2021 Silver were limited to 200 units, black paint 300 units. We felt that the black paint would appeal more to potential buyers, but Silver Chrome on brass always has appeal. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan_S Posted September 21, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 21, 2021 Leica Historica will also soon launch a 50 pcs limited edition 50 APO in silver chrome similar to the LHSA version, but can only be purchased by Leica Historica members...

roverover Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted September 22, 2021 6 hours ago, Steven said: Bought by an LUF member, happily enjoying it now 😊 The lens is not hard to find. Neither in silver nor in BP. All you need is to be willing to spend about 18-20k (as of September 2021). If you are, I can find you one in less than 24 hours. I'm pretty sure it will trade around 23/24k by the end of the year. If you'd like to send me a Private Message with info about a lens that I can view and then discuss, then we can continue, but i will not discuss business matters on an open forum, thanks.

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! This is splendid. Thank You for the information. Are these offered in some particular place to LHSA members or does the LHSA promote special editions on the LHSA home page when they are made available? I am a recent LHSA member.

There is a difference between LHSA and Leica Historica, these are two different organizations. This lens is offered by Leica Historica and only 50 will be produced which could only be bought by Historica members. I have reserved one and I am sure these will pop up later with a much higher price tag... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

egrossman Posted October 14, 2021 Share #10 Posted October 14, 2021 A silver copy of the LHSA is available at Fotopia in Hong Kong FYI: https://www.fotopia.com.hk/#!product/showAjax/216/Leica Summilux-M 50mm F1.4 ASPH - Silver / E43 / LHSA The price isn’t listed however (you have to call). This is a legitimate business. I bought my 50mm Noctilux 1.0 from Gilbert. Erik 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an earlier LHSA 1.4, I am looking for the more recent 2.0 LHSA release, but thank you for your sincerity and endorsement of them.

egrossman Posted October 14, 2021 Share #12 Posted October 14, 2021 HK may be the best place to source what you are looking for @roverover. I would call 3 of the biggest 3rd party Leica dealers there, rangefinder.com.hk, mkkcamera.com.hk and fotopia.com.hk and let them know what you are looking for.
