neweditor Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hello everybody. I have an early quite rare Summaron 35mm f3.5, made for Leica M3 and intended to be used without goggles. More details are in this thread: Modifying Summaron M 35mm 3.5 to 35mm frame line I was told in this thread that it`s a rare lens that has a collectors value. If it`s really so, I would not kill a rare lens filing off a part of the bayonet lug. But for me, a collectors value is less important than the wider aperture. So my question is: maybe, somebody wants to trade this lens for a Summaron 35mm f2.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I applaud your concern about modifying historical lenses and wish you luck in finding a f/2.8 replacement. In any case it won't be a cheap lens although current asking prices on eBay seem to vary widely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neweditor Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yes, on ebay there are different prices for theses lenses, but anyway, f2.8 is more expensive. Though, using this my f3.5 always switching manually 35mm frameline is also not a good option :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neweditor Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Seems nobody interested I can understand it. 2.8 is not 3.5 :) Should think on filing the bayonet lug off for the comfort shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
