It has only been ~20 years since the Summilux v.3 was replaced by the Summilux ASPH. "Just yesterday" in Leica-years. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeping_a_balance Posted November 9, 2023 Share #23 Posted November 9, 2023 On 11/6/2023 at 12:52 PM, costa43 said: Hi all, My favourite lens, the 50mm 'lux pre-asph v3 is in with Leica for a CLA. It suffers from the relatively common issue it seems of light haze between the cemented elements. Leica cannot clean the residue but they can replace the affected elements. It's a 5 - 6 month wait though. With this in mind, I'd like a low cost fast 50mm to plug the gap. So far the strongest contender is the Canon 50mm f1.4 ltm but thought I'd ask around to ensure I'm not overlooking any other good options. Thanks Costa https://www.47-degree.com/focus-shift/leica-m-50mm-lens-comparison-part-4 Maybe this helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

01maciel Posted November 10, 2023 Share #26 Posted November 10, 2023 I would highly recommend the Voigtländer 50mm Heliar Classic, not really at low cost but an invenstment for the next two decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
