Are VC lenses going to be introduced in dedicated M mount?

<p>

Thanks,

Is this a common fault? I see this on my M2, just as Andrew & Andy

described. Is it expensive to rectify?

<p>

thanks

All,

<p>

On my M2 (when either changing lenses or using the preview leaver) the 90 and 50 framelines come up perfectly, but the 35mm doesn't quite make it and appears as a mixture of the 50 and 35. I guess that the actuating mechanism is not moving far enough.

<p>

Is there anything I can adjust or do I have leave this to the professionals?

<p>

thanks,

My colleagues, friends and I wish to convey our deepest sympathies to

the families and friends of all those killed and injured in

yesterdays horrific acts of terrorism.

<p>

Those who planned and perpetrated these barbaric acts are truly

insane.

All,

<p>

Please can you recommend a suitable flash unit for use with my M2.

<p>

thanks in advance,

<p>

All,

<p>

Thanks very much for your contributions and suggestions. I have just

examined the 35 Summaron with one of our optics specialists at work,

and sure enough it does show some signs of 'Leica fog'. I have been

told that it is not severe, and I shall experiment with a home made

lens hood firstly before trying to find a 12585.

<p>

Thanks again for a very informative user group!

<p>

regards,

All,

I have a recently purchased a 35 Summaron for my M2. The lens appears to be in A1 condition, the glass is very clear. Shots in overcast conditions are fine, but as soon as the sun comes out, severe flare is apparent. Is there potentially a defect with the optics, or do I just need a lens hood? I use a Leica uvA filter to protect the optics. If a hood is the answer, please recommend which one. I also have a 50 and 90 Elmar, both of which are very good performers. Should I have the lens tested?

<p>

Any advice gladly reveived,

<p>

thanks,

<p>
