Really surprised with the price too. Yeah silver lens on black bodies look awesome. Black lenses on silver bodies not so much : p but that’s just me maybe. There were some members that mentioned a black paint limited (ie expensive) version was coming out at the same time similar to what they did with the noctilux f1.2 remake, but guess that didn’t happen. It would’ve been a collector lens anyway so don’t bother.

Otherwise would have been a day 1 purchase for me rip. There's a simple solution to this problem - buy a silver film body to go with the lens 🙂 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted October 22, 2022 Share #46 Posted October 22, 2022 Agreed I’m m no fan of black paint. I do NOT like brassing. Give me black chrome (preferred although I understand soon to be discontinued due to environmental concerns) or silver 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own. Whoever felt inspired to join the bp trend lately, that is during the last 1-2 years, maybe for the reason to participate in a market with a very limited number of genuine items... ... die Bäume wachsen nicht in den Himmel = what goes up must (or could) come down (one soon day?). I think this new - old lens looks gorgeous in silver chrome ! Those daydreaming about a black version find hope seeing the new bp edition of the 28mm Summaron. Leica listens to the customers imo.

Chimichurri Posted October 22, 2022 Share #49 Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Steel rim and those ears in the aperture ring. Not for me. The steel rim I can put up with but even Voigtlander is getting away from that aperture ring style. I had it in the 50f1.5. Hated it.

darylgo Posted October 23, 2022 Share #51 Posted October 23, 2022 To add the the nuance of silver, black and recent olive. The Safari and SE editions (M9, S006) have silver shutter speed dials that contrast beautifully, in addition the chrome dial is easier to read, so functionally superior (imho). Anyone for titanium? The stainless steel of the M60 camera and 351.4 FLE deserve mention, a work of art, but I fear going off the rails here and will stop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less glow, but it has a little – not enough to be considered a noticeable characteristic of its rendering, IMO. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass is different, the coating is improved and yet the lens gives that glow wide open. This also makes it a more useful lens than a one trick pony. Stop it down and you have the performance of a lens of our times. It delivers the rainbow flare as anticipated. This lens is all about the character, and it fully met my expectations. I am fortunate to have a nice collection of lenses. I love vintage lenses and have the xenons and Hektors and Summarexes, but also appreciate the modern apo lenses. Sometimes it’s cumbersome to take a xenon 50/1.5 for that look wide open and then also take a 50Luxasph or a 50apo for different situations where I’d like to stop down and get a sharp contrasty image. This lens gives you the best of both worlds. And that’s super useful. I mean if you don’t like that glow wide open, you can keep shooting f2 and further just like a normal lens, which makes this quite attractive. There’s the 1M MFD but Leica wanted to remain faithful to the older version so they didn’t change it. The OLLUX hood has its own place, the modern one is a faithful reproduction of the same design. Changing aperture with the old one was iffy, same with the modern one and hence the second hood. Size and weight are very close, the lens is of course 6-bit coded. Hope that’s helpful. Anything specific you have in mind? How do you find the summarexes? Ive been thinking of them for awhile. Love the rendering.do your ones have clean glass? Ones i see are quite hazy and not so perfect 😖 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
