domenicopescosolido Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi, I would like to buy a 50/2 3 camme for my Leica R4s but I don't know if buy first model (now with 3 camme) Wetzler made in Germany or second model made in Canada. They are similar or there are some difference in optics and performance? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canfred Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi Domenico , the second Canadian version is the better one in lab test situations. In everyday use it would be difficult to tell them apart. In fact there is no bad 50mm Summicron , the thing to do is go for the cleanest one you can get at the best price. Manfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharris Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have the second Canadian 3 cam version and it's fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_hilton Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I agree with Michael about the second (Canadian) version of the 50mm Summicron. It's the best lens I have in terms of contrast and feel. You'll find an excellent choice at affordable (for Leica) prices. They're cheap because every Leica R in the 80's was purchased with a 50mm Summicron, so there are loads around. Good luck.
