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.
