Summarit Lenses

[ableforensics]

I have a question that someone with one of the new Summarit lenses may be able to answer.

I recently purchased a Summarit 50 2.5. The aperture adjusting ring seems not to engage the d tents as precisely as other Leica lenses I have.

I called Leica New Jersey and explained that the adjusting ring seems to "glide" rather smoothly over the range of adjusting positions. It does engage but does not seem as deeply set.

Leica service clained that this was normal for the new Summarit lenses.

Have any other new Summarit owners experienced this.

Thank you

Howard

Yes ..... my 35mm summarit was the same and my 50 lux asph also shows this....

My 50mm Elmar-M is similar to my 75mm Summarit, kind of soft. The 35mm 'cron engages much more sharply.
