memphismonroe Posted September 27, 2023 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just found out today that many of the new M lenses had improved focusing distance, what a game changer! However I don't see this on the wider lenses, anyone thinks/knows if versions like this will come? And if we will see a wide Summicron? Cheers!

Carlos cruz Posted September 27, 2023 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2023 Try super angulon with 0.4 mfd or collectible short run of elmarit 21 “tiger claw” or just wait, knowing how quick leica answers fast changing world, I should say wait patiently ;-] or a third option find a talented, fearless mechanic and ask him to rebuild your lens.

RexGig0 Posted March 3, 2024 Share #6 Posted March 3, 2024 The WATE, the Wide Angle Tri-Elmar, 16mm/18mm/21mm, has a minimum focusing distance of .5m, does it not? I do not own one, but recall that this is a feature of this lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
