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

Can’t wait. Not sure why since I have enough lenses. This just seems so fun.

One reason I think is that we have witnessed the development of this project, so we feel connected/invested in it.
It would be the most personal lens purchase I have made, with my custom engraving and choice of finish.

Can you show the brass lens from the front without the lens cap on?
Thanks.

I am able to find this picture to show you the brass lens without the lens cap. Even though they are the final stage prototype, the final retail product will look exactly like this. The engraving is different though.

Thanks ever so much Kevin in sharing this remarkable journey from initial discussion and early prototypes till these ready to be released lenses. We're all very excited.

Sooo excited 🙂
As the others said, thank you so much for showing us all the progress from the beginning. A fantastic job has been done so far, and the results and testing pictures are awesome. I think it will be the perfect lens to be on my side for my 4 month trip coming 😀 And I can't wait to publish a review for it too 😉
