frame-it Posted November 18, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Just saw this Nickel Rigid Summar 5cm f2 while browsing for lenses on a shops site, is that front "ring" a hood or part of the lens system?

Advertisement Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Hi frame-it, Take a look here Rigid Nickel Summar. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jerzy Posted November 18, 2023 Share #2 Posted November 18, 2023 it is part of the lens, it holds the first glas. Rare variant is black rim, holder is black painted. Black Rim is more often found within collapsible nickeled, but still a rare variant. Welcome, dear visitor!

willeica Posted November 18, 2023 Share #6 Posted November 18, 2023 My Summar line up some years ago, I may have added one or two since then. I can't find the thread where I listed the details of the variants - the search feature on the forum is less easy to use than it it used to be. They include one rigid example, nickel and chrome examples with a black front ring, examples with f2.9 mark for use with the Leitz-Agfa colour system, examples with and without the infra red mark and also metre and feet scale examples as well as coated (aftermarket) and uncoated examples. Any that I have used are very fine lenses with a distinctive 'look'. Welcome, dear visitor!

The 50mm Elmar has even more variants. William 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

TomB_tx Posted November 19, 2023 Share #8 Posted November 19, 2023 This III usually has a collapsible Summar (as when I bought it), but here it has the closest I have to a rigid Summar: the Nickel Heliar from Cosina Voigtlander: Welcome, dear visitor!
