I am not even worry about it on architectural photos. ‘Taps’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reserved ‘Shading’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reserved Centre is plenty sharp, and the field is reasonable. I like it much better than modern lenses. It has a romantic rendering in the out-of-focus area if the background is further away. ‘Leaves’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reserved ‘Tree2’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reserved ‘Tree’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reserved ‘Gentle’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reservedīokeh can be a little busy with the scene below. In the shade at closest focusing distance, it is quite gentle, with good micro-contrast. ‘Tree lookdown’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reserved Good amount of details but not clinically sharp. ‘Tree Lookup’ 40mm Summicron-C + Leica M Monochrom ©️All rights reserved Vignette at F2 but goes away at F4 and above. My review this time is on my recent experience with Leica M Monochrom camera (first version). It has slight chromatic aberration, but it is perfect for black and white photos, presented as a “glow”. No problems for newer digital cameras with direct liveview, EVF etc.Ĭlassic image feel. On the Leica M Monochrom I guess the frameline between the 50mm and the overall frame. Just need to get use to the photo slightly wider than the frameline unless you are using the original CL, Minolta CL/CLE or Voigtlander Bessa R3 family that has the 40mm built-in. On typical Leica M camera the lens brings up 50mm frameline. Leica claims it is not compatible with other Leica M cameras for the accuracy of focusing, but I have no issue with it on my digital Ms. The body lens itself is in aluminium with a sloping focusing cam. The build quality and feel is the good as Summicron/Summilux 35mm from the same period. Doingphoto has an article about changing it to the more common shape, if you are determine to do it.Īperture ring has half stop clicks from F2 to F16. It is functional, and some people don’t like it. The focus tab is triangular and plastic, not the typical concave type knob. While it is adequate, but will not work without the hood. Plastic cap 14191 is secured on hood only. I ended up being patient on eBay and spotted one out of a ‘lot of loose rings and hoods’ at a reasonable price. They told me they can custom make it with the original mould for price a price that is higher than my whole CL camera and kit lenses set. I contacted Leica and see if it is possible to buy the hood new.

The material can dry out and crack over time. The rubber collapsible lens 12518 hood is more rare than the lens. 6 elements double-Glauss design with high refractive index glass. I advise not to use standard 39mm filter, risk to jam the filter or damage filter thread.

Series 5.5 filter (39mm x 0.75 non-standard). This is one of the lightest and smallest Leica M lens.
