75/1.4 min. focus distance?

[Rafael]

Does anybody know definitively what are the min. focus distances on the two versions of the 75/1.4 Summilux? I have read in some places that there are no differences between the two versions apart from the greater weight and built-in hood of v.2. I have also read that v.1 has a min. focus distance of 1m whereas v.2 focuses down to .75m. I have just now seen a photograph of a v.1 lens. The photo is not very clear. But it looked to me as though the focus scale on the barrel of the lens went down to .9m. Anybody want to clear this one up for me? Thanks.

Hi Marc,

I now believe v1 goes down to .9m. My v2 goes down to .7m.

My 75 Summilux = 75 cm
First type = 100 cm

Mine focuses close past the 0.75 mark, I would guess to about 0.7, It's the one with the built in hood.
