Al Brown Posted August 18, 2024 Author Share #48 Posted August 18, 2024 I must say than after a while using it, this lens' render also reminds me of the Summicron 40/2, which was in fact the Summicron 35/2 (II/III) derivate. Of course it is still absolutely faithful to 8-element (I), but that just shows how amazing a lens the eight element actually was. Welcome, dear visitor!

Al Brown Posted November 6, 2024 Author Share #55 Posted November 6, 2024 (edited) My 35 LLL Safari's front lens assembly started rotating. The retaining ring that keeps the front lens assembly with diaphragm together got loose. The only way to fix this is unfortunately to take the lens apart. I have experienced the FULL DOSE OF NON-EXISTANT AND UNCOOPERATIVE LLL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Left on my own here in EU. Probably because I did not purchase the lens through them, but from MAP in Tokyo. Their CEO David Chen said he will not share the detailed repair instructions to fix it (I am skillful) and I should return it to MAP or I could perhaps try contacting a local qualified Leica technician for assistance, as the parts and the tolerance would be similar to the original Eight Element Summicron 35mm f/2. So if you are in Europe and are buying Light Lens Lab second hand be aware that there is no aftersales care (unless you want to sent your faulty lens to China and deal with complicated EU temporary export papers) and you are ON YOUR OWN. Their only EU distributor Jo Geier quit selling LLL two years ago as they were apparently super difficult to deal with. Luckily I fixed the lens by dissasembling it and tightening the inner retaining ring (it was badly fixed and stained with Loctite upon leaving the LLL factory, a common QC issue with this make as per online testimonials). Majority of other users will not be this fortunate or capable. Definitely my LAST CHINESE M LENS. I only persisted because I really like it. But it has AGAIN turned out what I had been preaching here on LUF all along - even though everybody keeps saying how these lenses are "built like a tank" it is just an outside feeling - innards can be very ill-made.

Sorry that happened to you. I always assumed that because they were in China and such a small company, sending it to them for repair wouldn't be worth the hassle. In the U.S., I would send mine to DAG, with the bright side being they could also adjust the coupling so that infinity in the rangefinder actually lines up at the hard stop, which the new ones rarely ever do. Given what I read here at https://lightlenslab.com/policies/terms-of-service, they only warranty the copies sold directly by them, and any warranty on the lenses not sold by them has to be rendered by the reseller. In the U.S., that would be Popflash. I assume Popflash would use their usual repair/CLA place and then ask LLL for reimbursement via a credit on incoming stock. But I don't know that for sure, that's just a guess. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if that adds extra leverage on the front lens assembly (if the hood takes a minor impact or even from repeated use of holding the lens by the hood), in which case I may stop using mine.

Al Brown Posted November 7, 2024 Author Share #59 Posted November 7, 2024 Also, the retainer ring is held with some gooey glue. It needed to be cleaned first. I have tightened it and assembled the lens without reapplying loctite or glue on the retainer ring but it got unscrewed again when I tried to remove the filter of the lens. So back to the old drawing board and this time blue loctite is the key ingredient... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
