@yukosteel has recently published a new article detailing a close-up modification for the Leica Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 v2 Canada lens. This modification specifically enhances the lens's minimum focus distance, allowing the Leica Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 v2 Canada lens to focus closer. One of the most appealing aspects of this modification is that it can be reversed if needed.
Similar to the recently reintroduced Steel Rim version, the Leica Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 v2 Canada lens originally has a minimum focus distance (MFD) of 3 feet or approximately 0.9 meters. This article explores an experimental adjustment of the lens's focusing mechanics, aiming to extend the close focusing range to around 0.78 meters.
According to Yukosteel, the modification to achieve a closer focus for the Leica 35mm F1.4 Summilux-M lens v2 is not overly complex. In his own words:
"The most challenging aspect involves accurately unscrewing and screwing in the optical core. Creating a new brass stopper is a straightforward task, as is the removal of the default focusing blocking bar. With the right skills, this modification could take less than an hour to complete. You might even consider consulting a nearby lens repair technician to perform this simple modification for a fee."
