[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Yesterday I bought a M2, 35mm f2 chrome and 50 DR with eyes from Jefferson Camera in St. Louis. I've been away from Leica for years, and am thrilled to be home! Happy, happy little guy! I also have a 90mm Tele-Elmarit (thin) #2727995 which needs cleaning. None of these lens have lens shades however, so I need to know the numbers for each of these shades. The 35 Summicron is a chrome Leitz Canada, #1930115, and the 50 DR Summicron is #1707952. Trying to look for these without numbers or those letter codes (such as IUFDO, which I do know is for a 90, but don't know if for my 90) is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I would like to buy a 21, but this would not be used nearly as much. Has anyone used the 21 2.8 that Adorama sells for about $800? I know Pop Photo gave it and its companion 28 very high marks, but what does that mean? Camera Club Collectibles also sell it under the name Avenon for about $700. Who makes it? TIA.
