john_collier Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 Your serial number (1973) shows you have the second (and last) version of the mount. The optical design was the same on all production. Newer lenses benefit from better coating and assembly technologies but the improvements would be subtle. If you are unhappy with the lens, I would not suggest you buy a later non-Asph but get the new Asph instead. The 35/1.4 Asph is THE lens of the leica line up in my opinion. <p> Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob F. Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 Yes, the Leica-M Compendium says that the 35 Lux " . . . was recomputed in 1966 (from ser. nr. 2166702) with a marked improvement in image quality. I have one of these, and it seems superior to my old chrome 35 Summicron, original 8-element formula for rendering fine detail. I'm very pleased with it. <p> Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
