[New test photos released] Leica Summicron 35/2 Eight Element copy made in China

Erik van Straten said:
I dreamed about a set like this for years! Two great performing small brass lenses of 50mm and 35mm, Leica M mount, black painted, with fixed hoods and caps of the highest mechanical and optical quality.

Typically, neither of them is made by Leica.

Color Skopar 50mm f/2.5 by Cosina and 35mm f/2 by LLL.

Haha. I use photoshop to erase all the serial numbers and engraving information for privacy reason.

Nice touch!

Kevin, you can tell Mr. Zhou that I don't mind raw brass. If it tarnishes/develops that beautiful patina - all the better. It will make it even more unique..

Kevin-

Are you just getting batches of 12 lenses at the time? And are the 12 in the picture in your hands now or is this a picture from Mr Zhou? I think one of those lenses might be mine and I'm very excited!

Yes, I just received 11 chrome lenses. All the pictures with a “KEVIN PHOTOGRAPHY” watermark on it are taken by me.

It will take me one or two days to inspect the lens. Then, I will let the owner know the lens is ready for shipping.

Yes Raid, it seems that way, but that means i'll have to make do with the other 3 CV & Leitz 35mm lenses here. I'm definitely not holding my breath.... but i did make the 1st 500 cut-off & I'm not dreaming of a 50 1.2 or a 2nd series brass 😀

At this point Raid, planning & dreaming are pretty much the same & you never know..... it could be a lifetime away 😉

It's not that bad since I don't need any additional lenses.

Raid, I didn't know need had anything to do with the planned dream. RFF would be a quiet place if we just went and took photographs with the gear we had.

What exactly is a point & shoot camera? Glad you asked!The Kodak of 1888 may have been the first, and even Leica got into the act!
