New Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 V1 “Steel Rim” lens reissue rumored to be announced next week with the M6 camera

By LR admin | Published: October 11, 2022

I have been talking about a new Leica M 35mm “Heritage” lens for a while and I think a new Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 V1 Steel Rim lens will be finally announced next week together with the Leica M6 camera. This vintage lens reissue will be slightly different from the original body and will be available in silver and maybe later in black (similar to the Noctilux 50mm f/1.2 lens). The original Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 V1 Steel Rim is currently listed for $20k – $30k at f22cameras and eBay.
