Yes that one is, but that is a mapcamera special edition of the VM lens, which was limited and now costs 300,000 JPY, so also not cheap. And the steel rim piece looks nowhere near as nice as the Leica steel rim does, that’s for sure. Mostly due that it’s not a straight line, but it has several dents to fit the hood. That is the best looking VM lens though, but you can’t easily get it now, and for that price to be honest, I rather pay a bit more and get the reissue Leica did. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted October 23, 2022 Share #67  Posted October 23, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm interested in this lens for its size and old school handling of light but that rainbow flare looks like it could get tiring quite quickly. Does it largely go away as you close down? I might well take a punt on one when they become more widely available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly occurs wide open and only in certain angles. You’ll know how to avoid it / create it the more you use it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the rendering.do your ones have clean glass? Ones i see are quite hazy and not so perfect 😖 You’re right, these lovely lenses are very old and tend to develop fog/haze and have stiff focus movement. 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 He’s no longer active, having sold his workshop to Leica.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 dealers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s really the benefit of the goggles! Probably at about .7, correct. That .65 minimum distance (plus the super cool steam punk look of the goggles, lol) is what sold me on the M3 version— The 1m minimum, and the feel/redesign of the infinity lock on the heritage version is what (for now) killed the deal in terms of getting the new one. I would like to have the e46 filter size, and the freedom from worry about damaging a 10k+ USD lens while out and about that the new one would provide, but for now, the 1m minimum just falls too short in terms of functionality for me.  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
