- The first shoot of my New Leica APO 35mm Summicron f2 m-mount lens. Photos taken over a 4 day period in and around Sydney. Whole variety of locations, distance shots, close up, high contract, silhouette, sunset, night shots, bokeh, a bunch of shots to put the lens through its paces. I'm impressed.

One of The most interesting “game changing” feature of tuis lens is that 30cm focus distance capability. I shoot the Q over an equivalent M 28mm system because of that and now Leica made it possible on an M lens. Can’t wait to test it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, the Q and Q2 are great cameras with the 28mm Lux lens. I'll be doing a video shortly on "One Body One lens" where I discuss the APO 35mm with the M10-R vs the Q2 with its 28mm lens.
Beautiful score too...
Thanks!
Looks truly magical!!
👍
Fantastic and generous amount of images to help in considering the lens. Will check out your other videos.
Awesome, thank you!
I have the same exact combination
Beautiful colors
Excellent
Well done, Peter. It's a nice review!!!
Many thanks!
Spectacular!
Thanks
Your videos are awesome!
👍
Dream team that combo! That's why I buy lotto. One day, maybe...
It all starts with a dream....
Always enjoy your photo outings, nice shots with a lovely combo.
Glad you enjoyed it
My SL2 and M10P are waiting for its delivery.
Good choice
Hello my friend. Confused between this lens and the New Leica Summilux M 1:1.4/35 ASPH ! Which one do you think is better with the Leica M10R Black Paint?
Great question. For my Leica M10R black paint, I found a used Leica 35mm f2 Summicron (Black Paint version). Quite pricey but looks fantastic matched to the camera. Re image quality, the Summilux Asph is outstanding (older or the close focus version). The APO 35mm (close focus) is even sharper. I think my preference of the two is the Summilux over the APO Cron because it's faster and a little more bokeh because of that.
I’m investing my next purchase in this lens for my M10-R. NOT buying the M11. I’ll get the next model after that down the road. Glass is a GREAT investment.
Wise choice.
I’d love to see a video of that lens on the M10M!!
Thanks for watching. Here is the link to a recent video of the Leica M10-M with the APO 35mm. ua-cam.com/video/3y384TKf_Lc/v-deo.html
Cheers Peter
@@Adventure8 thank you so much!!
how do you find the app against the lux fle, do you think it's worth the extra?
For me it was, to get the close focus of 0.3m with the APO.
The only problem with having a summicron is still wanting the summilux!
Completely agree. I'm about to bring out another video comparing the new APO Summicron to the Summilux. Spoil alert.... If your budget allows - get both....
am thinking of getting one. im torn between the 28mm summilux as i mostly take landscape photos.
Yes, it's a personal choice. If you only have one lens, personally, I prefer the 35mm. These days, with Lightroom and other post processing software, stitching photos together to make a wide shot is getting easier all the time. In fact for landscape, I'm often shooting 50mm and 90mm to bring points of interest closer to fill the frame of view more.
28 lux is the best lux period, 35 APO is the best APO and 35 😂 good luck 😅
Hi
In your opinion, which is better, with APO 35mm Summicron lens ? Leica M10-R or Leica M11 ?
The APO 35mm is outstanding for both the M10-R and the M11. My choice which M body to use, in my case, is the looks of the body. My M10-R is the black paint version, very nice for evening events, dinner. It's a bit like, which watch to wear with your outfit. I used my M11 for my recent Central Australia adventure tour.
@@Adventure8 Thank you so much 🙏
Wonderfull lens! It's a pity that that focus so close is impossible to use whit a film M camera
The joys of film. I like doing selfies with the APO 35mm lens. You soon learn to set the right focus distance (0.42m) @ f2. I guess, guessing with film is costly, around $1.00 per frame. (cost of film, processing, digitising, proof, around $36 AUD per 36 shots). Shooting around 50,000 digital shots per year...... Still love shooting film from time to time.
Have you tried on Leica SL2? I was thinking I will sell the 35Apo SL when this tiny one arrives
I don't have a Leica SL2 at this stage. So can't answer your question. My understanding (according to Peter Karbe - Leica's Master Lens designer) the SL 35mm APO is considered to be the best. The M version is smaller and therefore almost as perfect as the SL version. Do you have an M camera?
No, the excellent Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 35mm 2.0 Aspherical Lens which have outstanding optical image quality ! You can use the (US)$8000 you save on a lot of other things, so the Voigtländer are the most versatile Lens !!!
👍
How were you able to get your lens so quickly?
I was surprised how quickly mine arrived, about 2 weeks after ordering it. Lucky, I suspect.
better the gear more awful the pictures :) youtube never dissapoints
