The Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4 (Micro-) Review.

Inspiration, Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, Q&A, Teaching point

This is the one lens I always come back to, whenever I foolishly part with it for the latest and greatest.

If ever write a full review about the Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4, I will include the table below, which I put together using data from Lenscore.org.

If there is another 50mm lens out there that better balances performance, speed, size, build quality — and even price — I haven’t seen it.

I really love seeing them like this… enjoying each other’s company.

On a completely different (and technical) note, these images were not post-processed in any way.  I had nothing to add to what the M10 produced.  First time I can recall that happening to me with any digital camera.

Leica M10-D Rumour and Aaron C. Greenman’s Post from 4.5 years ago.

According to Leica Rumors, the Leica M10-D will be arriving shortly.

Looking back to a Guest Post by Aaron C. Greenman almost 5 years ago, it seems that many of the items on his wish list have been incorporated into the new model.

I can’t wait to see if his request for a lever that manually re-cocks the shutter has been included, as the “leaked” images seem to suggest.

No CCD sensor though, so in that sense we are probably both disappointed 🙂
