I was fortunate Ottmar Michaely was still active some years ago, he serviced my old lenses. He’s no longer active, having sold his workshop to Leica. I love the charming look they deliver on my CCD Monochrom as well the M11. If you’re looking for one, I can let you know if one of them turns up for sale at my usual Thanks for your reply! Hmm... ill dream a little longer, dont wanna spend more $$$ at the moment haha. But yes a lovely, lovely lens indeed! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdg1371 Posted October 24, 2022 Share #89 Posted October 24, 2022 11 hours ago, shirubadanieru said: a few people were saying the new focus tab didn’t feel as nice but it looks great machined all together rather than a separate 'glued' piece as most lenses. It’s not the focus tab that is the issue, it’s the infinity lock that is associated therewith. The infinity lock actuator/ lever is attached to, or housed by the focus tab. You depress the infinity lock lever to release the infinity lock, so you can rotate the focus ring away from the lock position at infinity. On the old version, it is a vey elegant crescent shape, clearly designed for a fingertip, dovetailed into the focus lever, and it has a very smooth, damped action. On the new version, it is more squared off, and feels looser, less precisely fitted. ‘Admittedly, it is a subtle difference, but it was immediately apparent to me upon handling the lens. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winedemonium Posted October 24, 2022 Share #91 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Thank you mdg1371, Wonzo, Yellow_78, and especially TheGodParticle/Hari, for the pictures. Please keep them coming. I have requested a copy of the lens to purchase, and will add some photos in due course, though who knows how long it will be before I get mine. I will be patient, as with all things Leica. The main thing that put me off an original v1 was the combination of price and risk with soft coatings / haze, etc. But honestly, mostly now price! But here’s the chance to get a particular vintage Leica “look”, 6-bit, and serviceable by Leica. I’m in.

Stephencdean Posted October 24, 2022 Share #96 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I have a titanium 35mm f1.4 (11860) and it doesn’t seem as soft as the new lens. Will post two garden shots taken today, just unpacked lens! Apologies for lack of inspiration! New steel rim first then 11860 titanium. Both wide open. Welcome, dear visitor!

The shutter button too goes really well with that body, congrats on a beautiful kit! Thanks for the kind words! The strap was from a company called "cubandco" based in NY. This model was named the "helix" strap. Unfortunately, I dont know if they still do camera straps he hasn't posted since 2019! But can always DM him on instagram to see if he is still active. The shutter button and hot shoe flash cover is from an Artisan based in Japan named Jay Tsujimura. Also a passionate Leica user, he makes quality hand made stuff! Also can be found on Instagram. Thanks again mate! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonzo Posted October 24, 2022 Share #99 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Here is what you might get with the new Steel Rim, if you shoot without the hood. Also you can see the light reflections on the water, which are quite similar to the old versions. Welcome, dear visitor!

Wonzo Posted October 24, 2022 Share #100 Posted October 24, 2022 Now the same motive, shot with the M10-R and the old Steel Rim. Reflections and also the glow of the old lens are not as blurry as with the new version. Welcome, dear visitor!
