I'm selling my Leica 75mm f1.4 Summilux lens for M cameras. The lens is in mint- condition with no marks or scratches on the barrel. Glass is perfect. This is the model with built-in hood. The lens works perfectly on my M8. The lens comes with front rear caps and original box. I'm asking $2650 for the lens plus paypal surcharge and shipping costs. I can take paypal (3-3.5% surcharge), bank check or money order. I will fully insure the lens and will not declare as gift or low value item. Thanks for looking.

Re: FS: Leica 75mm f1.4 Summilux
The only lens I believe made outside of Germany is the Nocti. Made in Canada for the Nocti but the 75 lux is German made. I am pretty sure about this

Re: FS: Leica 75mm f1.4 Summilux
nope. most of the 75 Luxes are Canadian except for the latest ones (there's another posting here for one of those -- at a much better price!). i'm not being a snot here -- just superstitious. i tried a German one and it worked beautifully on my R-D1, which is more finicky than the M8.

No I thought only the Nocti thanks for correcting that. Some want a German made one and others don't care totally understand either way.

Re: FS: Leica 75mm f1.4 Summilux
thank you in advance.
perhaps -- but you do not seem to want to answer my question (here or in another forum where you also posted it).... was this lens made in Germany or Canada?
thank you in advance.

Mr Nguyen may be having the same problem as I...........nowhere on my 75 Lux is there an identifier as to whether it was made in Germany or Canada. ditto for my 35 Cron IV pre-asph! Both these lenses, to my understanding, were made in both places. I am on vacation and my Leica handbook is at home so i can't go further at this point. I would guess that you can determine the country from the Serial number but I am not 100% sure. I have a friend in Leica N.J. who may be able to help. I'll let you know.

Re: FS: Leica 75mm f1.4 Summilux
he did say it was made in Germany, but thank you for the info in the future.
Terry -- in no way, shape, or form did i ever mean to disparage the glass made in Canada. my Canadian Luxes (35 and 50 pre) are perhaps my favourite! it is only this particular lens that i felt superstitious about, possibly because i still dreamt about the one i tried and didn't spring for.
and thank you to the well-wishers. i'm quite excited and know exactly what i'm getting into :grin: my camera has started to grow on my therapist. he's dying to strip the "leather" off and reattach it -- i caught him with tweezers and super glue, salivating! i will simply explain that the new glass is my weight for the static exercises he's given me to do. much easier to grip than a barbell

Re: FS: Leica 75mm f1.4 Summilux
Actually, your therapist will likely commend the choice of a German made 75mm Summilux - the only change made to the lens during the transition was to make the mount 60 grams lighter than the previous versions.
Enjoy it. I was recently able to pick one up and it's one of those lenses that really lives up to its high reputation!
