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

[sreed2006]

I also have received and submitted an order form.

I struggled with what custom text to have engraved, and finally settled on "TRAVELER". That will inspire me to get out and about more, and take more pictures, I think.

Thank you, Kevin, for keeping us informed and following through with everything.

Submitted the order form as well.
Put my name in the engraving, I guess I can always black it out if I get annoyed by it.

I chose 8ELEMENTS

“Since the dual mount is not an official LTM version and the maker only has the original LTM version in hand. So it will not be possible for them to make the dual mount version you guys mentioned. But he will try his best to make the LTM version has the ability to focus down to 0.7m with the adapter. But I do not promise anything here. “

I’m interested in the LTM version if it offers the 0.7m close focus, whenever it may be ready to order.

Submitted my form! Brass.
This is very exciting indeed.

Kevin, is there going to be a separate form for the lens hood?

 

[froyd]

Just put in my order too. Very exciting.

Kevin - Can you please shed some light on SF Express? Will the shipping have tracking and insurance? If not I'll need to change my preferred shipping company.

Now SF Express only provides insured services in the United States, Russia, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia, but not in Europe and others. Full tracking information can be provided on their official website.

Here is SF Express official website.

We can provide other shipping options like EMS, which can cover more areas.

Put in my order for black paint, multi-coated.
Like a classic with a few refinements.

 

[tao_kala]

Put in my blackpaint one too, can’t wait��

Just ordered a black one 🙂
You can't order the hood + lens at the same time?

Sorry, the replica hood and viewfinder are not ready yet.

Submitted my form then read that SF don't provide insured services in Europe, so re-submitted it with UPS. Apologies!

 

[jmilkins]

So exciting. Hard to choose ( the chrome looks lovely) but I went with black single coat and F8+THERE inscription.

 

[Applet]

I opted for a black multi-coated version (tend to not use hoods), very exciting. Just added a “MC” as engraving, a bit boring maybe 😛

 

[Egguie]

This is so cool. Just placed my order for a brass one with my birthday date.
Kevin, do you think there will be a custom engraving also on the hood?
It would be cool to have a matching custom engraved set

 

[raid]

Can submitted orders still be modified, Kevin?

 

[Emile de Leon]

I'm going to order mine..as soon as I figure out what to put on the front ring..lol..

 

[aizan]

Anybody else getting chrome?

My engraving will be “REPLICA-M”.
