overexposed Posted June 26 Share #1 Posted June 26 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since we got a few resissues over the past few years, what do you reckon will be the next one and what lens would you like to see being reissued? I would like to see a 75mm lux, black and silver edition pedaes and simoneM 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the price the chrome Noctilux reissue has attained, maybe a reissue of a reissue. Based on its popularity the 'rigid' Summicron 50 in chrome and black paint would be my vote.

budjames Posted June 26 Share #7 Posted June 26 Advertisement (gone after registration) An updated version of the Tri Elmar 16-18-21 would be my ask.

lct Posted June 26 Share #8 Posted June 26 MATE (Tri-Elmar 28-35-50/4) with same size incl. hood as WATE (Tri-Elmar 16-18-21/4), with no more flare than the latter and a true macro setting. SiggiGun 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

overexposed Posted June 26 Author Share #10 Posted June 26 well an update would hardly be an reissue Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMF Posted June 26 Share #11 Posted June 26 Yup. I second this one ‘35mm Summilux 'Steel-Rim' in Black-Paint’ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmesa Posted June 26 Share #12 Posted June 26 A lot of the lenses mentioned are not classics in the same sense as the other reissues. I think people are confusing updated lenses with a reissue. Yes, 35 Lux pre-ASPH, steel rim + Ollux hood + removable goggles. Mark T 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted June 26 Share #13 Posted June 26 A smaller MATE Any 35mm reissue would work well for me... Summarit or Summaron. Oh yes, and the Summicron v4 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capuccino-Muffin Posted June 26 Share #15 Posted June 26 5 hours ago, overexposed said: well an update would hardly be an reissue Not even an update. I’d call it a run of the mill “with a bit of extra time between runs”. But that is suuuch an excellent position for a company to be in. Leica is now in a position to issue a new run of M3 cameras, just like that. Bam! 60 years between runs, so what! You always wanted a brand new M3 but swore your life for not being born in the right era? Well maybe you’ll get your chance this time around. I’d buy a BP M3, and maybe even a silver chrome one. And a M2. This would also kill, once and for all, the Asian forgery of fake BP Leicas and the whole SILLY repaint business. No, these wouldn’t be reissues in my book, but merely a new production run, in the grand scheme, with the next one happenin next year, or in 40 years, who knows. Only a few companies can do this: Harley, rolex, Ford... but for cars it’s harder. For small objects, this is easy peasy. Leica was really out of the market from the 60’s with the SLRs outselling them 100:1, abd then 1000:1. But with technology enabling mirrorless technology, Leica has been extremey lucky. They could do nothing about the market, but the whole market has changed to match Leica’s position. That’s like changing a lightbulb, not by screwing it but by holding it and waiting for the earth’s rotation to screw it in. How unlikey, and yet this has happened for Leica: they went to be completey helpless for 50 years until today where the market has fully and comfortably changed as a mold for Leica’s products. Yes, I’d like a Summilux pre asph BP steel rim. Mark T, Simone_DF and harmen 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That version used the current 50mm Summicron optical cell in a facsimile body (as the 50 Year Summicron). I am talking the original optical formula flexed for current glass types and coatings, as with the other 'classic series' lenses.
