After watching this I am just now realizing that you are so right, yes, version 1 glass IS like a 1/2 stop yellow filter. Very interesting. I have both lenses, and love them both. I appreciate the english subtitles, thank you very much. Beautiful photographs.

Thank you for the reply. I really love the old lenses than modern lenses. They all have some stories and full of emotion for me. For Leica, I don't need high resolution and clear image( I prefer medium format digital camera or large format filFor, all I want is emotional expression, even out of focus and motion blur. So the lenses of Leica on 135 format, that's my really concern. ;)

I was just very lucky and found a collapsible Summicron with serial number 920 in very good condition for £15 at a "second hand" store. Mine is an M mount, but to be honest I wish it was screw mount. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but did wonder about whether the yellow glass acted like a yellow filter. I suppose I will just use it with only black and white film. I have heard that sitting the lens under a UV light bulb for a week will correct it. This was a lovely video, thank you for the English subtitles.

Yes, the yellow glass almost acted like a yellow filter. If you use black and white film, you should add 1/3 or 1/2 stop while you are shooting.

At first I was surprised there were such big differences between them, but luckily you gave an explanation about the yellow filter. Probably the new generation is technically better than the older one, but the differences should not be big. Personally, I am a lover of old gear and I even like the imperfections of old technology, but when it comes to Leitz lenses, there are no imperfections! Thank you for the interesting video.

Oh, and about the legends about radioactive lenses: We were told that some of the lenses were made of radioactive glass stocks by the German company Carl Zeiss Jena, which were exported by Red Army under "war reparations" to the USSR. Industars-61 L / D and L / Z (lanthanum glass) appear to belong to these series. But nothing is known about the harmfulness of this radiation for humans. The truth is that the Industars-61 L / D and L / Z weren't produced until the 60-70s.

@@robhosailor Thanks for telling me this. Someone has tested the lens glass with a Geiger tester, and it does have relatively weak radiation readings. But it is said that it weakens to very little after 10 centimeters away.

Thanks. I think I have not done well enough, the photos were not good. I'm thinking re-filming this lens for more detail and more experience for sharing.... 😀
hello, i love your video, Just a little suggestion, your hands are waving too much and it distract so much. thanks for the video anyway. I got my Summicron collapsible and always thinking of having a rigid. It looks really beautiful with a silver M body.
Thanks for the video. Is it safe to one’s health to handle a lens that’s radioactive?

Are there any vintage lenses from Leica other than this v.1 that have lanthanum oxide glass? I think Leica had used this type of glass in the 50 and 60’s. Is the 8 Element one of those?
@MissChrisiInShanghai

As I know, the 8-elements is not the one of those. The glass of 8-element is natural fluorspar.
