[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm interested in purchasing a Summilux 35 f1.4. I'd like to buy new but I've located a gray one for about $600 less than a new lens from a licensed Leica distributor. I've also seen used lenses in mint condition for more than a new gray lens. My question is this. Is there any benefit to purchasing a used Summilux that was purchased through a licensed Leica distributor versus purchasing a new gray lens? Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be offered. Ernie
