Hi guys..

I'm looking for a 28mm Summicron for my M11. I'm wanting used but mint example. I'm interested New Zealand so will be needing to look overseas.. Are there better retailers or sources that could be suggested please. Obviously Ebay but I do t have any experience through there so a little dubious...maybe that is not a fair statement.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you place a Wanted ad on the Leica forum.

You could check Leica stores around the world. Be wary on the version variations. There is material online to check.

I‘d suggest to order only with the possibility to return it! For me it happened with all my existing lenses that they needed to be adjusted for the M11 (focus was not accurate). I believe you do not want a new lens that has to go straight to customer care before you can use it… I do think this is especially likely for older lenses. So if you are planning to buy the v3 summicron (close focus), this might work out but idk.

Thanks for the replies..

 

Bit of a turn around... purchased a 24mm Elmarit from a dealer here.. pre loved and totally mint. Quite a bit cheaper too!
