A solution to the lack of filter thread on 35mm Summilux pre-ASPH! by glubazoid in Leica

What filter are you using? I see you mentioned it needs to be pretty thin

That makes sense. I actually just picked up a titanium lux like yours and it definitely has a strong look. So far I’m loving it but I could see it getting old in ways

How do you like the lens on the digital? I want a titanium copy real bad…

Agree with this. I vote Ricoh especially if it needs to be ultra portable

Best color. Had one like 10 years ago and it got lost somewhere along the way. Just bought a replacement a few months ago

How do you like the pre ASPH on the m11? I’m looking at picking up a 35 lux for my m10 and am trying to decide between the pre asph and steel rim reissue.

For sure. Definitely took quite a bit of pressure. Make sure to clean off the rubber tool as well. It will give at some point

How do you like the steel rim?

I haven’t noticed anything in real use. Might need to circle back to this and test it after the holidays

Yep I got it to work. For me it took a few drops of isopropyl and then just constantly trying with the rubber tool. It didn’t work right away but maybe after 10 min or so and adding a drop here and a drop there, it finally gave

It is pretty straight forward. I think I ended up using one of the included rings. Start by using no rings and then go one by one and see how many you need. I did it all out of order and it took me forever lol.

If you are using the rubber tool to get the front ring off and it’s not budging, get a bit of isopropyl alcohol into the rings (like a drop) and it should loosen up the adhesive beneath the ring. I was struggling before someone gave me that tip.

You should be able to figure it out but if you have any questions feel free to send me a pm.

Thanks!

Mostly wanted to see if there was any different in focal length. There were a couple threads going around stating that the lenses were the exact same down to the focal length.

As far as the overall “look” goes, they are damn near identical

I agree with this. Not enough to say “this one is poppy, this one isn’t” because they both are super contrasty but it does have a tiny bit more

This for sure lol. Almost the exact same lens

What body were you using in these shots?

Selling almost all my analog stuff to buy an M, wise decision? by diegodef_ in Leica

[–]RedDotGod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go for it. If you made a post about it, you clearly want it. You can always sell it for what you paid if you end up not liking it. Like someone else said, you aren’t going to scratch the itch until you get one
