Thanks William. As you know, I owned the original Summaron but sold it when I had the opportunity to get the remake. I love using it for zone focus and it is so compact that it hardly increases the size of an M. My only complaint about retro lenses is the infinity lock. Admittedly, this isn’t much of a problem with the Summaron, but it is with the steel-rim Summilux. I’ve lost count of the times when I find the focus locked when I want to take a picture.

Thanks Andrew. We try to stay out of it and avoid politics. Readers have vastly different views, and we try not to get into arguments which are best left to politically aligned media.

Nice piece about a lovely place, Mike. The 28mm Summaron was already perfect before Leica introduced the M Mount version. I did a review of the older LTM version of the lens for Macfilos on 24th May 2016 with the title ‘ Leica 28mm Summaron f/5.6 Review: Little old guy goes modern—perhaps ‘ before Leica introduced the M mount version.
