Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Leica APO-Summicron 35mm f/2 ASPH
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 бер 2021
- In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts David Farkas and Josh Lehrer will be taking a look at the new Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH, which was introduced earlier this month. Now one of the highest performing lenses in the M lineup, the 35mm APO-Summicron also has a new trick - close focusing down to 0.3m. We're super excited to share our thoughts and test results on the brand new 35 APO. See how the new APO stacks up against the standard 35mm Summicron-M ASPH, the 35mm Summilux-M ASPH, and even the 35mm APO-Summicron-SL.
As always, feel free to submit questions before the show to questions@reddotforum.com or ask live in the chat.

I have zero ability to purchase the 35APO but I still really appreciate this video.
Huge fan of your channel here, and also, lusting over the 35 APO regardless of knowing that it is beyond my means at the moment hahaha
Thanks! The 35 APO is amazing little gem.
don't we all...
Same here love the channel Benj!
Take out a small loan.
I paid a deposit for my 35mm APO on release day but after watching this video, im even more desperate to get it! Great video, as always and thank you for all the effort in making this informative and entertaining video.
35 APO was great, Enzo was amazing! Next episode: 2+ hours Enzo ASMR special.
Excellent and comprehensive presentation, though I would like to see the M lenses described in terms of M gear -- exclusive use of the M11 body and the M11 monochrome, comparisons to other M lenses -- rather than so much SL2 crossover in which I question whether M11 shooters have any interest whatsoever. For example, rather than going on and on about the SL2 and the SL lenses, I would have rather seen the time spent with the M11 and the M11 monochrome and on comparing the 35APO F/2 to the 1.4FLE, the revered v4 summicron and the vintage, immortal v1 Summicron 3.5/1:2. I get it, you love the SL2, but I doubt any M11 shooter will be interested in the heavier, larger camera or its much heavier, larger lens line up. The presentation was by far the best on the net I have seen. Keep up the excellent and informative work. There is no substitute for anecdotes and empirical observations. I personally found all the charts of little interest. Never have taken a picture of a brick wall. Love the architecture, the street shooting, the beautiful landscapes, colors, use of bokeh, composition and so on. Exquisite examples and professional photography advice. Really appreciate all the hard work you put in to making such a difficult project run so smoothly and effortlessly. Many thanks!
I am using 35/1.4 fle on m10m and by your videos i ll rethingking to change 35apo and 50lux as you mention. Thanks
Glad we could help.
Wish this was a podcast I would love to have this to listen to during the day on my Ipod!

@@jonashovden really.... Thanks for the reply.
Love the lens specific episodes. I’m interested in the comparison between the S 35mm and the SL APO 35mm. Keep it up!
Interesting idea. I think that while the S35 is a wonderful lens, the APO SL would come out on top in terms of absolute performance. The S lenses are more of a balance between the biting sharpness of the SL optics and the naturalness of M glass.
Yet an another excellent episode! Since you asked about if people would like to see more episodes for just one lens, I'd vote for a dedicated episode of the Leica 90mm f/2.2 Thambar-M lens. I'm saving up for it, and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Plus one!
They have two used ones in stock. I have one and love it.
The new APO is awesome. Thank you for showing what the lens is capable of. Especially wide open. Wow!
It really is!
Would love to see a comparison to the Voigtlander 35/2 APO. $1149 vs $8295.
Is the 35 apo better than the 50 apo in terms of lens design and performance? Which one is more suitable for travel and street photography in your opinion??
Josh, you should be David's official translator! Great talk guys.
Thanks!
Do a episode on the 3 SL VARIO lenses
We covered the three Vario zoom lenses in our L-Mount lens episode here: ua-cam.com/video/aTgViYvdDq4/v-deo.html
19:25 I assume this is in readiness of weather sealed M11, perhaps. And the hood looks like it is also designed to be used in mild/average adverse weather conditions as it is more closed for protection. I would be less inclined to use a UV filter to protect the lens with that hood on.
Do APO lenses make a difference on monochrome cameras?
You guys sitting in the wrong place messes with my OCD.
As impressive as the APO is, I preferred the FLE for picture making. It was close enough stopped down to landscape apertures that nobody would notice a difference, but gives 2x more light gathering ability for when it’s required. Overall, more versatile. Was I seeing slightly more saturated color out of the FLE as well? Either way, both great lenses but FLE is where I’d put my $. Both cream of the crop optics. Like trying to decide between a Ferrari and Lamborghini
I have the 35 FLE I (phenomenal lens), but pre-ordered the new APO-Summicron-M 35 for its close-focussing capability.
No luck in getting this APO anytime soon, I bought the APO 35 mm Summicron SL and switched my pre-order to the new Summilux which should be easier to get from my sources.
I have watched this video several times ...another great lens episode! I was lucky to purchase a 35mm APO Summicron lens earlier this year and am loving the wide angle detail that it renders and still discovering it's other fine attributes. Curiously, in the new updated Camera Raw 14, I was hoping they might provide a "lens profile" for this lens, but as far as I can tell, it has NOT yet been included. Is there a lens profile in Camera Raw that you might suggest using for this lens in the meantime or is better to make manual adjustments assuming some are needed until Adobe includes it?
As always, thank you for your time and replies.
will the hood of the 50 APO 35 F2.0 fit on the 35FLE ?
great reveiw guys. really helped me in my decision making. gonna keep my 35 lux and get the 35 sl instead of the 35 m apo.
Good move. The 35 APO is astonishingly good while the 35 Lux FLE is no slouch and offers a very different look.
Did I miss the comparison between the APO and Summarit?
35mm apo f2 or 35mm Summilux f1.4 new model for travel and portraits?
If Leica gave awards ( say an 'APO' ) for content about their products, you two should get the first two awards !! Great presentation ! Magnificent job ! Looking forward to you letting us know when the Leica APO Summicron 21mm f/2 Asph. will be released. ;-)
Wow, thank you! If you're referring the the 21mm APO-Summicron-SL, then hopefully this year. If you're looking for a 21mm APO-Cron for the M.... let's just add it to our long term Leica wish list. :)
@@RedDotForum Yes I meant the SL, and ,yes, I'd add a 21mm M APO-Summicron to my hopeful list as well. I'm thrilled at the possibility for the 21mm SL in '21 ! Thanks !
Do filters fit on this lens along with the lens hood?
Thanks for all of these informative videos. Being new to Leica I'm obsessed with these videos I am curious is there are any image examples of the difference between the 35mm Lux ASPH 11874 vs the FLE 35mm Lux?
Do you have a preference between the 35mm apo vs 50mm apo? Is one any sharper than the other? Thanks!
is the optical performance of 35mm FLE1 Summilux and 35mm FLE2 Summilux the same? Is FLE2 designed for higher mega pixels?
Why not making everything APO? Cost, or technical constraints? Every lens would be at this price range?
Yes! But how do I get one? Pre-order and hope I don't die in the mean time.
I enjoy watching your Leica talks and the dog is wonderful to see .Is the dog a golden retriever? last year I went to the Leica store and purchased the Leica D-Lux 7 as I hope to tour Norway & Sweden
and the camera would be great for travel. To my surprise I take the Leica with me more then my D850. What a great camera. After seeing the images coming out D-Lux , my neighbor went to the Leica store with me and she came home with a black D-Lux 7. Now she loves her Leica also. Could you do a Camera talk on the D-Lux and all the features that can be set up in this camera?
A question slightly of topic. I’m already invested in the L mount system, S1R, and want to bridge into the Leica system by purchasing a Leica L mount lens initially. I’ll probably play safe initially with a 50 or 35 but would also consider a short zoom lens. However, i’m slightly caught up in the ‘which one’ dilemma, any guidance would be most welcome as a nube to Leica.
Plus one
I have the SL 35 mm f/2. It’s a terrific lens.
Would the performance of the apo M lenses be seem using the leica Film cameras vs the digital ones?
Of course! While high resolution digital is certainly more critical, the look of a lens will absolutely come through on film. Keep in mind that most of Leica's history of lens development has been in the pre-digital era.
1:23:18 what causes that hole in the bokeh balls?
Video @ 2:08:29 "You can actually mount the Summarit" - Huh? - But the hood isn't lined up to the TDC of the lens.
If indeed Josh did fully screw down the Summarit hood, it doesn't look to be lined up to a camera body's configuration...
We tested this after the video and the hood does line up perfectly.
Excellent video again, guys. Quick check, were the sharpness tests done on an M10 or SL2?
Some M-lenses behave better on SL’s than others (e.g. corner sharpness), and generally the bigger the lens, the better SL-performance? Wondering how that is for the APO-35, which is quite small.
All of our testing was done using the SL2 as it is the most cross-compatible with all lens options and very accurate for focusing.
I just wish Leica UK would hurry up and deliver to my dealer, where I am #1 on the queue for the APO. I actually prefer the older Summilux ASPH to the FLE with the huge proviso "if you can find a good one".
Why?
@@johnkasianowicz6536 Purple fringing from very hidh edge contrast. Seems to be a characteristic of the FLE lenses, 50 ASPH Summilux etc. The lower edge contrast of the earlier ASPH 35 Summilux avoids this. The problem is that many of them have appalling aperture shift and it takes a lot of looking to find a good one. For some reason, the chrome/brass body lenses seem better than the black alloy ones. For the same reason I prefer my 50 Summilux III SE to the the 50 ASPH Summilux I used to have.
Doesn’t the FLE have focus shift?
Thank you so much for this! It has answered all of my preexisting question. Unfortunately, it has raised a new one. The image you took with the apo m at the closest focus distance, what other m lens, at its closest focus distance, would give a similar composition?
Nothing in the M lineup has this high a magnification natively. You'd need to utilize the Macro-Adapter-M with other lenses to achieve similar results. Check out our macro episode that we did recently for more info on that.
Basic QED (quantum electrodynamics).
In the market for a new 28mm 1.4 lux. Should I wait and get a 35mm APO? In indifferent to the 28-35mm so I could go either way. What do you think?
28 and 35 are definitely different focal lengths that will offer unique perspectives. Both lenses offer exceptional quality. The 28 is obviously wider and has a stop faster aperture. The 35 APO is unique with it's close-focus ability and is physically more compact. Just depends what you're after.
28 lux is a beautiful lens and it could easily be your only 28 lens; the look at 1.4 is incredible and stopped down is very sharp you can’t go wrong with it at any given level.
3:15
how about the cosina 35 apo....
Maybe leica can make some m to t close up adapter, after all, Leica do make m to m adapter.
Im surprised to see onion rings in the bokeh balls on the APO. Didnt PKarbe say its how they grind the glass etc?
Noc 35 APO 🤯
David is official lens destroier,haha
why no price mentioned for this APO Summicron 35 mm f/2 ASPH lens?
8000
Joel from FT Worth. TX
The Leica APO-Summicron 35mm f/2 SL seems too big. I'm thinking about buying a Sigma Contemporary 35 mm F2.
Compared to the SL zooms, the 35mm f/2 SL is quite compact. And of course, it also happens to be one of the best lenses Leica has ever produced. If image quality is a factor, I'd serious recommend giving the APO-Summicron a shot and seeing if it works for you. The lens is absolutely incredible in every measure - a pinnacle of optical engineering.
Please justify why should one spend a lot of money for an APO version when chromatic aberration can be simply corrected in post with one single click!
At around 9:00, I think you even lost Josh
Is the barrel brass or aluminum?
Like most modern-era M lenses, the barrel is made of aluminum.
@@RedDotForum Thanks !
Comparing everything on an SL body is lame. You should compare them each on their native systems because the lenses are optimized for bodies with their mounts. And generally people are going to buy an M lens for an M body.
APO / ASPH?
35mm "non-everything" 😂😂😂
Comparing a f1,4 lens vs a f2,0 lens wide open, is comparing apples with oranges; just saying.
7000€! 😳🥴
Damn i missed this week....:(
You can always watch the replay at full 4K quality whenever you want!
@@RedDotForum It just started!! watching it now!
@@RedDotForumWait... that Ring that's at the bottom of the foam... what is it used for again?
@@gewglesux it’s to put on the lens when the hood is not being used.
@@ccoppola82 oh Thank you!! i always use the hood! but thats good to know.!!
Love your videos but when you get to tossing up these crazy charts of colors and shapes and old tv test patterns you lose me. Big time. Would far rather see photographs of something natural that I can relate to and that doesn’t cause my eyes to cross! Keep the great info coming but maybe not this way?
And this is one reason why we've avoided sharing all of Josh's test target shooting in the past. That being said, there is real benefit to understanding the critical performance envelope of the tools at hand. And of course, that's why we show off real world samples and live shooting demos as well. Something for everyone!
The 90 apo is not that incredible
Is there ever a reason to say "blah blah blah"?
Physics is not really your strong suit.
