jaapv Posted November 3, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 3, 2022 It is a bit funny. Leica calls these versions “Safari “ but the longest focal length they ever offered was 135 mm (for the R3). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted November 3, 2022 Share #4 Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) When on safari, we're supposed to use our short lenses and sneak up on the lions to make photos of them. Edited November 3, 2022 by Herr Barnack 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 3, 2022 Share #5 Posted November 3, 2022 I have done that, but I assure you that 15 m from a feeding Lion is quite sneaky enough. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernstein1234 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted November 3, 2022 Thank you for all the unique responses. I guess probably Leica had meant them to be "military green" but opt for "Safari" instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernstein1234 Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share #8 Posted November 4, 2022 Actually I got the 28 Summicron more for it's compactness and unique rotating lens hood. I know there's the matt black version, but its price range and colour makes it out of the equation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresno Posted November 10, 2022 Share #9 Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Novoflex (Germany) in the 1970s entered into a collaboration with Leica for R4. The lens was offered in 400mm and 600mm. The finished lens was matched to the R4 in olive green. 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! Beautiful collection!! My limited collection includes a 50R Summilux e55 that was sitting at Leica LA, I shot a few images and handed it back thinking I had enough 50's to keep me happy, no need to adapt lenses, the safari coloring was unique and likely I would never see one again. A few days later looking at the imported images in Lightroom I was liking what I was seeing. The lens had all the qualities of a classical 50, beautiful glow wide open, very nice improvement in contrast and resolution stopped down. Not unlike the ver. 2 M Summilux, it had a beautiful smooth quality that exceeded both early M lenses. I am thinking of purchasing a M11-P in Safari if only Leica would make it and not too late in the M11 cycle. The Reporter models have me wondering if it's the new safari, they're beautiful but the chrome dials of the safari are my preference. In the meantime Leica introduced a case in a color I hadn't seen previously and it is my quasi-safari solution. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeowee Posted June 1, 2023 Share #20 Posted June 1, 2023 The green one looks awesome. Went a bit crazy a few weeks ago and got my M10p painted glossy black. Just got it back today and I'm pretty contented with the painting. 🙂 Welcome, dear visitor!
