A reader emailed me about this poster, showing all Leica M lenses since 1954, that is currently available for sale (you have to email [email protected] for additional info). The size of the poster is 80 x 60cm (23,6″ x 31,5″) and the price is €13,05 (around $16) plus shipping.
All the copyrighted information used in this poster was approved by Leica Camera and also includes the latest Noctilux-M 75 and the Thambar-M 90 lenses (with the new 6-bit codes). A total of 112 Leica M lenses (+five L39 LTM mount lenses) are included in the poster.
This is the information published for each lens:
- model/code
- years and country of production
- numbers produced
- number of elements, groups, aperture blades
- 6-bit codes
- dimensions, weight
- minimal focusing distance
- minimal and maximal aperture
- caps, hood, filter
- the differences between versions
The value of the poster is not the collection of lens pictures, but the long and painful search for the information concerning the mechanical and optical properties of all Leica lenses. Shipping will start January 24th.
The poster includes also the upcoming Leica Summilux-M 90mm f/1.5 ASPH lens.
