Here comes the promised part 2 of the review, covering:

PLEASE ROTATE YOUR PHONE/TABLET TO LANDSCAPE ORIENTATION (SIDEWAYS) TO SEE THE FILE NAMES FOR THE COMPARISON SHOTS. JonoвЂ™s articles have been enthralling us over the years, and his take on the APO35 is here: Д¬hats Chatterjee poured his thoughts over the lens on his website here.Д®vris: where are the RocknRoll straps for the SL2S!?! рџЃД 5 April, 2021 - PART 2 OF THE LENS REVIEW. If you want to see a meticulous comparison of the M-APO 35 vs a bunch of other M-35mm lenses, David Farkas and Josh Lehrer did a fabulous job, the video is accessible here: Three cheers to Leica, and to you, for being part of the vibrant and thriving Leica Community. Of course, supported by the supermen and superwomen like Stefan Daniel, Peter Karbe, Stefan Janssen, Michel Razafimahefa, Karin Rehn Kaufmann, Kiran Karnani and many others, who are passionate about what they do at Leica. It is amazing to see him at the helm, navigating the current challenges and charting the course for a bright future for Leica for tomorrow and beyond. To fuse the spirit of the 70 year old Leica M ethos, with the digital spaghetti of todayвЂ™s sensors / processors as well as EVFs / touchscreens, and to fuse it all into a metal body of film M proportions, with a superlative UI is no small feat. Kaufmann who embodies the saying вЂњThere is nothing permanent except changeвЂќ. The final Hurrah goes out to the Leica Team. What do you plan to shoot with the lens? A body of work? Or Bressonesque singular moments frozen forever in time? Will you use it on an M body, or an SL body, or both?В Comment below and let me know. What is your vision? What do you imagine? What do you want to create? The lens is more than capable of realizing what any of us intend to conjure up. вЂћAsk not what your country can do for you вЂ“ ask what you can do for your countryвЂњ The ultimate question always has been: Quo Vadis? I love talking about equipment as much as I enjoy making photographs. I am clearly as guilty as the person on the guillotine, and unabashedly so. ItвЂ™s so much fun to get absorbed into gear discussions. So, whether you are a purist or a philistine, thereвЂ™s something available to help your vision come to life. What I appreciate is that there is a tool for the job. With the Heritage series, we have вЂњartisticвЂќ lenses. With the APO Summicrons, we have вЂњperfectвЂќ lenses. For the one camera-one lens prowling moments, any version will more than deliver the results.ДЇor artistry, I like the Summilux 24/1.4. This doesnвЂ™t mean the other versions are not up to mark, it only means that for my taste, these lenses render images for a story/body of work with a similar look and feel. Likewise, the 28Lux, 50Lux ASPH and 90Lux are a perfect combo. The 21Lux, 35Lux ASPH (preFLE) and 75Lux are a dream team. I like to maintain a similar footprint/design language for the images I shoot in a series, as part of a story.

The weight is comparable to an M digital body with a M lens. Perhaps with the upcoming Firmware update, this will be included (EDIT: the Firmware has been released but I sent the lens back in the meanwhile and am unable to retest). I am using the Leica M-L adapter and can confirm there is no profile. As I write this, on the 1stВ of May 2021, there is no in-built camera profile for the APO35/2 on the SL2S. Performance wise, it is as perfect as it is on my M10p. Hence my little quip above with the freezing camera due to the EVF, with the hope for improvement in the next iteration. But generally speaking, I much prefer the OVF and the EVF.

I do not like shooting directly with the LV/rear screen. Annoying to have to pull the battery out and put it back in to have a working camera again. I donвЂ™t know about you, itвЂ™s common for my m10p safari to freeze every now and then when I use the EVF. ItвЂ™s one seamless move.В A long one, but seamless nonetheless.ДЄs improved as the current EVF is, for the M10* over what we had with the M24* series, itвЂ™s still no match for the EVF on the SL* series. Which implies no fiddling with external EVFвЂ™s like in the case of the M10p, when you want to focus closer than the 0.7M into the magical 0.3M territory. This lens feels as natural and at home on the SL2S, if not even more than the M. So, without much ado, letвЂ™s dig our teeth into it shall we?В Keep scrolling down the page to see Parts 1 and 2. I took the time to explore the lens to itвЂ™s maximum capabilities. The final part of the Review is finally here.
