bayerische Posted September 15, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, Been Googling around for the Summarit lens lineup prices, but haven't found anything. Do you know their prices? Preferably in Europe. So what is the -30% off a lens with the M8? How can I claim this offer?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Hi bayerische, Take a look here The new lens lineup; Summarit prices?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted September 15, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2007 Official price list for the Summarits has not yet been disclosed in the specific countries (my dealer told me so just today) , but it has been publicized, at the announcment, that they will be in the range of the Elmarit 28 asph, i.e. around 1100 to 1300 Euros, and a "quantity discount" shall be provided for single orders of > 2 items. The 30% discount issue isn't related to this : it was a promo for early buyers of M8, who could buy one lens with this discount (a time-limited warrant was enclosed with M8) ; for what I know, officially it has expired.

stunsworth Posted September 15, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 15, 2007 See here for UK prices... The Classic Camera - The Leica Shop Prices range from £690 to £890. 100% deposit required which is non-refundable and non-transferable. I wonder why The Classic Camera won't be getting any of my business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayerische Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted September 15, 2007 OK, I have misunderstood the -30% lens. I tought it was still valid. Thanks for the info about the Summarits. The 90 or 75mm sounds a bit interesting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted September 15, 2007 Share #5 Posted September 15, 2007 Yep the 75 was the reason for today I went to my dealer... clearly in England are quickier to have a price list... but paying 100% in advance is not so a nice policy...

danielt Posted September 15, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 15, 2007 Prices in Spain will be (VAT included) Summarit 35 mm 1.250 € Summarit 50 mm 1.000 € Summarit 75 mm 1.250 € Summarit 90 mm 1.250 € Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 15, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 15, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am guessing that we in Europe will be ripped off on prices as usual. I am interested in the 75mm but I speculate that the US price will be $1250. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jothiratnam Posted September 15, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 15, 2007 Hi, Singapore is a good place to get new leica equipment at very good prices (Cathay Photo). If you're looking for used Leica equipment, I can recommend Bologna (Fotoprisma), Köln, Hamburg (there are a few places in each of these two cities) and Zürich (Foto Ganz). You can often get used equipment that is in almost new condition at Leica specialist shops there at reasonable prices. Happy hunting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakly Shanidze Posted September 15, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 15, 2007 regardless of prices, i was severely underwhelmed by performance proofs for 75 and 90. fringing is pretty bad, and highlights are not as well-controlled as with, say, my old 2.8/90 fat tele-elmarit.

Did you test these lenses or a test has been published elsewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakly Shanidze Posted September 15, 2007 Share #11 Posted September 15, 2007 performance proofs in jpeg and dng format are available on leica web site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted September 15, 2007 Share #12 Posted September 15, 2007 performance proofs in jpeg and dng format are available on leica web site. They were not that impressive. Leica has never been able to post decent sample files. We may have to wait until the lenses get into the hands of users to get a better idea. I also noted they do not have the MTF curves for the lenses on the site. I wonder what that means? Are the lenses still in development and fine tuning or have they just not got the sales literature ready yet? From looking at the pricing and the muliple lens buy discount, I think these lenses are aimed at the new Leica user who cannot afford the more expensive lenses and may otherwise just buy used lenses or third party lenses. I don't think Leica is trying to set new performance standards with these lenses, but just fill a niche for cheaper Leica lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted September 16, 2007 Share #13 Posted September 16, 2007 ah saw rthe things on leica site........ there are no proofs of 35mm but doesnt matter cause as robsteve says - the proofs are so none-informative to a user (ya even the dngg files)........ irakly...... not sure u can base opinion about the thing since the lighting condition (sparkles on light on metal etc) are problematic issue and without at least beeing there in real or even better having side by side shots u cannot say much about it man....... otherwise...... i made a dng in silverfast hdr48studio processor (full raw support for m8)..... the thing looks ok but again - very difficult to say anything........ the pictures are simply non informative enough to get an idea of basic lens chractter (tech and aesthet)...... even proof print is not really helpful here....... leica: if u want to make proof fotos for your lenses (and almost any of leica lens can be proudly exhibited in action).......... some fotos that u think are more or less natural area for it........ for example..... if 24mm elmarti asph... then a few architec shots, a few reportage-like shots , some in the sun, some in the not highly lit situations........ ya im serious..... it is pointless to show lenses (or camera proofs) ...... u need at least three well selected informative pictures (dng if for digi) to base some basic first impression....... cause at the moment those proofs just show me that the lens has aperture and it can be opened to let the light enter ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 16, 2007 Share #14 Posted September 16, 2007 Victor, I totally agree. Don't take shots that flatter the lens - we are not idiots. Take some shots showing how well it can perform in situations that will provoke flare and veiling glare. Take shots of the edge of leaves (like Sean Reid does) to show how well CA is controlled. Post corner crops taken wide open in difficult lighting. That is how to persuade Leica owners that this lens meets true Leica standards and that it really is worth my paying a lot more in comparison to the CV Heliar 75, which is the Summarit length that interests me.

wlaidlaw Posted September 16, 2007 Share #17 Posted September 16, 2007 US: 35mm Summarit-M f2,5 $1495 50mm Summarit-M f2,5 $1195 75mm Summarit-M f2,5 $1495 90mm Summarit-M f2,5 $1495 Only one I checked. Taking tax into account, that is surprisingly equal pricing US/Europe. Good news for us Europeans. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
