Unboxing: Leica 35mm f1.4 Black Steel Rim

[@bryanlovephotography]

Awesome lenses. Sean is really nice too. He really knows his stuff and takes good care of his customers.

My 35mm summilux looks huge next to this tiny lens. It reminds me of my 35mm summicron in size.

Wow an original v1 in black anodized. With that in mind, the v1 black - like the later v2 - had an aluminum alloy mount. Wondering about the base metal type and finish on the new re-issue Steel Rim black version, and any weight difference to the new re-issue chrome version? Wish Leica had just called this a version 3 ( close but not the same design elements and time seperation ) to make it easier and quicker ( no writing out ‘re-issue Steel Rim’ ) but then it is all about marketing.

What a treat to see! Thanks!

when you hold the old one next to the new one, you can see a different reflection color, so the coating seems different. i was lucky to grab one of the 200 pieces, and still didnt dare to open up the box

Great lense, but I think the Damasko is the star of this show!

I wonder how long until the Leica Store SF closes citing safety concerns. Sad state of affairs.

Is it as badly made as the recent silver steel-rim re-issue?
