Advertisement Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Hi DrM, Take a look here Special 50/2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Overgaard Posted September 22, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2009 Well, it's black and appear to be a 1996 lens. But their price is not much different than the chrome from 1964 for example (which is only 100 € less). You can always e-mail them and ask about specific serial number lenses. They can give somewhat of an estimate and offer buying, commission sales, taking in your used lens in exchange for new/used equipment.

gravastar Posted September 22, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 22, 2009 .............it is a new design 50 summicron with tab. I have the same! does anyone know how rare this is? Best, M Are you sure yours looks exactly the same at the one in their photo. I have a black tabbed 50mm Summicron which looks very similar but on close inspection I think the rear ring with the red dot and aperture scale is a larger diameter on mine. Also it doesn't have any milled ridges on the ring either side of the focus tab like the one in the photo. Does yours have a built in hood like the Meister Camera one, mine doesn't. I'm told the one I have is not common but not that rare either. Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 22, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 22, 2009 The current model #11826 Summicron has no focus tab normally but Leica can attach one on request if memory serves. Not sure if it changes the s/h value of the lens though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it doesn't have any milled ridges on the ring either side of the focus tab like the one in the photo... Yours must be the 11819 i guess. It is the longest living Summicron 50 (1978-1994) with convex focus tab from 1978 to 1980 if i'm not wrong (pic below) and a concave one afterwards. Uses 12585 (metal) and 12538 (plastic) separate hoods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrM Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted September 23, 2009 I checked, but I've the current model #11826 Summicron, with tab. I'll call Meister. May be it is a custom made. M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun Posted September 23, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 23, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you're referring to this one -- MEISTER CAMERA Berlin: Leica M Objektive[backPID]=86&tx_ttproducts_pi1[begin_at]=20&tx_ttproducts_pi1[product]=4593 -- it looks as if the tab may be an after-purchase addition. I have never seen a 50/2 with that kind of deep, sculpted tab -- it looks like the kind found mre frequently on Leica's latest lenses, especially wides.

The 50/1.4 asph has the same tab as well. Has been attached to this current 50/2 on request apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted September 24, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2009 Me too would say it's an attached tab - probably at the factory, indeed, but I think also it doesn't give a special value to lens, and the price asked by Meister confirms this.
