I've found two version IV 35mm 'Crons both rate out about the same. One is Canada 1982 production and the other is Germany 1994 production. there's about a 500 dollar delta in the two lenses. Which one should I look at getting? Is there a reason for a premium on the German over the Canadian other than it's newer? Dec 04, 2007 at 05:49 PM

I don't know if there's any real difference. I would favor the German version just because it's newer and it MAY have a different coating. I emphasize "may" because I don't know. I have nothing against Canadian Leica lenses, as they have made and continue to make excellent lenses, such as the Noctilux. On the other hand, have you considered the new Summarit? I was very favorably impressed by it compared to the 35 Cron IV ... at least Guy Mancuso's copy. I'm referring to his thread over at LUF/GetDPI. Even when it came to the bokeh and out-of-focus rendering, I thought the Summarit was better than the Cron IV, at least in that test. Dec 04, 2007 at 06:22 PM
