The focusing is dampened and smooth. It's not as "slippery," as the Mandler or the Voigtlander 35 F/1.5 I have (the latter is more dampened than the former).
It feels more like my Thypoch lenses in that regard but the tolerances are tighter. I only other LLL lens I own is the 50mm Z21, which has a lot more play in it. I hate wobble in my lenses, lol. teaaaa wrote:
How's the helicoid? Does it feel smooth with enough resistance for precise focusing?

It showed up a day early! Build quality seems nice thus far. The focus throw on this thing is SUPER long. Black paint version will be a fingerprint magnet. I'll be taking it with me to NYC and then camping out in the Sequoias. I don't have a digital Leica body at the moment, so the ZF will have to do. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55560237964_8124c6e77d_c.jpg

Curious about the claims it will cover 44x33 so if you get a chance to test that would be awesome to see if it's true...
