Red Dot Forum Camera Talk Live tonight: the new Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens

By LR admin | Published: March 20, 2021


Red Dot Forum Camera Talk Live will discuss the new Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens. You can watch the episode live tonight on YouTube – here is the link:

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk Live Live Discussion: Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH

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.

Leica Q2 Monochrom review by Gino Creglia:

Leica announced the Leica Q2 Monochrom in November 2020. Can this be the camera that will provide me the satisfaction and the look and feel of the black and white film in a digital format? Was I nuts spending $5,995.00 on a dedicated monochrome sensor?

Well, not only was I not nuts, but the images from the Leica Q2 Monochrom camera had the contrast and rich tones characteristics comparable to black and white film. Finally! I captured the formerly coveted black and white images in DNG files without dealing with a lab or a scanner.

A very interesting article (in German) about the video capabilities of the new Leica Q2 Monochrom with a video example:
