One of the YouTube video reviews on it covers it. That it is in fact brass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame to get an old one battered and bruised. For that price. But there are knock-offs I saw too. Edited October 21, 2022 by Alberti Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I’m on the fence about the larger 46mm filter front end as it does make it appear to have a bit more bulk, but I certainly understand Leica’s rationale for moving to a std size ring. The lens hoods are really wonderful and I personally rank it as one of the best features on this new Steel Rim. Looking forward to see some detailed rendering samples and comparisons to old/new v1 vs v2, etc… Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For next week they announced a comparison of all M 35mm Luxes. (min18) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crem Posted October 21, 2022 Share #111 Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) I got confirmation from one independent dealer that this lens is only going to be sold through Leica's official stores. Same with the new M6. Quite unfortunate since I prefer buying from the smaller independent dealers. Posting this here since this is the first I've heard of about this. Has anyone heard otherwise?

I believe Leica Miami and Leica SF are privately owned, but have a special deal to use the name. They are effectively part of the Leica store list like the manufacturer owned stores. At least that’s what it seems like. Popflash, B&H, Adorama, etc all sell mostly non-Leica products. Tamarkin might be special because they are mostly about Leica.

evikne Posted October 22, 2022 Share #116 Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Why do some lenses have a SN with a very low number starting with "00000xx" while others have a new SN starting with "48xxxxx"?

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! I think the 00000's may be for pre-release tester lenses, perhaps ? Or is the image on the right from as tester / reviewer also ?

But I’ve seen members here on the forum with serial numbers as low as 0000023. They are probably testers too.

Ernstk Posted October 23, 2022 Share #120 Posted October 23, 2022 The 0000000 lenses are already being reported as having better image quality than the lenses with 'standard' numbering. The rendering is allegedly very special. No one is exactly sure why but speculation suggests that they may have different glass, different coatings or are perhaps just a bit different. Interestingly, collectors are already referring to them as the MZSR lenses - the Many Zeroes Steel Rim. Side by side comparisons have categorically shown that the lenses are in some way comparable, yet not in others. One thing is certain; now is the time to get in at the start and help build a Leica myth. Ernst 1 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
