Very nice. 🙂 My that 75 has a big nose! 😉

I got to handle a 75 Summilux at Leica Day in Orlando, FL today. It does encroach on the finder allot. I also got to handle an M8 as well. Was not really blown away by it but did not think it was trash either. Felt kind of insubstantial in my hands. Put the M8 in one hand with 50 Summilux mounted and my MP3 with it's 50 Summilux in the other hand. The MP3 felt like it could beat up on the M8. That is just an observation though and says nothing to the performance of the M8. Also noticed something else. All the lenses that had the 6-bit coding were very stiff to mount on any M camera body. Makes me think they did not machine these as well as they could have been. There was allot of camera fondling in Orlando today.😎

My M6 with Rapidwinder...

How did you get the black dot? It is very lovely indeed.🙄 🙄

Hi Ron,

The lens is a 50mm Nokton ... nice lens but intrudes into the viewfinder a little 'cause it's big. Looks good on the M2 though ... and after all style counts. 😀

yes, it intrudes into the VF even without any hood and filter. It's a lens more fitting to my M5 in size.

 

[EggProduct]

which 50/2 version is this ?

The last version one. I bought the M7 kit, because it is cheaper than I buy the lens apart. I like new lens more than old lens like 50 Rigid or 50 DR. My 35 is pre-asph one.

Don at DAG sells them - they're self adhesive, and only take a second to install.

The latest arrival (received yesterday)...

M3 DS & 50/2 collapsible Summicron:

 

[nitrox1]

M7, 50 summicron, and my trusty Sea Dweller. Lovely combo.

Photo taken with a Leica digilux 1. Only photo shop work was crop and grayscale.

Congratulations Anthony; it looks like a fine one! I will be getting a M3 or M2 soon...but not as mint as your M3 🙂

The latest arrival (received yesterday)...

M3 DS & 50/2 collapsible Summicron:

 

[john neal]

M6 with 35mm/3.5 Summaron (which, contrary to legend, is not a soft, low contrast lens).

Amen to that - I had a late screwmount one and it produced some knockout results. Sadly, it was sold to finance more Leica madness - oh, and the purchase of a Canon 35mm f1.5 ltm in mint condition. The Canon is a great lens (if a little quirky) but not quite as sharp as the Summaron wide open.

If it works for you, stick with it!

My other M3 re-skinned.
This one had most of the vulcanite covering flaked off from years of use.
