Can you get it in chrome? That's the deal breaker for me![]()
Buy one and I can chrome it for you - it'll look just like a parking-light pod on a 1950 Buick Roadmaster.

I want chrome plated brass. That adds about 400 grams to the weight, that way when I would drop it, (inevitable) it would, theoretically, reach a higher velocity, probably negligible at unless dropped from 50,000 ft.Of course you can, here is black chrome version, only 9100€:

Right now I see used one for good price, only 5799€, instead of 7400€ new. Good deal!

yeah the depreciation on these lumps is supreme. they lose about 1/3 of their value the moment u leave the leica booteek
Now serious: I have seen once a guy having apo Summicron 50mm, with a digital Leica. I was having M3 with LTM 5cm Elmar at the time, and I approached him to tell him "awesome lens", but he garb the camera and lens in fear, like I wanted to steal it (even it was on the strap around the neck) - the moment he saw that I am looking at the lens. So probably if you buy one of those - you will always be afraid of damaging the lens, or stealing or whatever. I will stick to my DR Summicron.
And yes, man. They say Doodlidoo in L.A..
lol ok that did it. I now agree w everything u r saying.
Would I get that reaction if I use my Noctilux or do I have to buy the APO? And is it a better idea to just wait for the upcoming Summilux 50 APO?
