Wow, nice one on getting your hands on the new Leica 35/1.4 Steel Rim! I've been using the pre-asph v2 for some time now, but I gotta say, the new reissued lens looks even better. It's got that same old-school feel but with a bit more contrast when you shoot wide open. That's just my personal preference though!

That sounds ideal regarding the Steel Rim. I won’t complain if some of that insane veiling flare from the v2 is toned down just a bit.

Great post, Fred. Thanks for sharing the MFD modification with us.

I’m curious what is the redesigned hood? Did Leica come up with a new screw on hood that allows use of filter without vignette?

They have one more left in stock if anyone is interested.

Thank you, I picked it up. I can't have too many 35mm lenses it seems...

Hi Fred, i am curious whether the reissue “ollux” hood can fit on the lens when you use that ultra thin filter.

Hi there,
Unfortunately, even with this super thin filter, it is not compatible. I have explained this in this post:
