Russian Leica thread. One claiming to be prewar Zeiss but probably early postwar Russian occupation built.

Not mine (yet), saw these at my local dealer. Love the left one because it’s silver chrome brass, love the right one for the hood design but it’s silver anodized aluminium. Can’t decide. Any suggestions?

Similar decision I had to make last week: haptics of version 1 vs (supposedly) slightly improved iq and hood design of the more recent version 2. Being biased in favor of version 1, decision-making got easy the moment I was shown a v1 with focus tab as well as hood in silver chrome.

Your 50 'lux looks beautiful btw!

I saw your photos, silver focus tab, silver hood, it’s a perfection 👌🏼

Oooooh. The rare LTM version …

Mine’s up for sale now at Leica Mayfair.
Lovely lens but I didn’t love the 1m min focus on digital Ms😕

Minor point I know but I prefer the omission of the red mounting dot🫨

Leica 90mm Summicron f/2.0, version 1 circa 1959, with lens hood that mimics a collapsable drinking cup.

My collection of M lenses I accumulated when I switched over to digital M bodies from the black film M6 TTL I worked with for years. When I purchased the M-P body, a silver version was the  only one my local Leica dealer had on stock and I needed it later that day, and luckily the same dealer at the time only had one 35mm Summicron left in stock and it happened to be in silver, I decided that was as good a reason/excuse as any to flesh out the collection ordering only silver M lenses from that moment on. A non-sequitur, I don't believe the 21mm 3.5 ever was made in silver, but I remember it being the best ultra-wide I ever used, right up to the moment I got the sensational 16-35 S.V.E. for the SL.

Later on in my digital M 'phase' I supplemented the Summicron with a new 1.4 Summilux Asph. FLE - the best every-day, 'leave-it-on-the-camera' M lens I ever owned.

Oh, one more thing........never, ever, sell an M lens, whether you own an M body or not. I still have all of my M lenses and use them occasionally on my SLs via the Leica adapter. They offer image quality one simply cannot duplicate, let alone exceed with any other glass.
