Review Summary

As you have probably read. This lens is like no optic ever before! Absolutely love it but its extremely pricey and if you don't want to spend that much I can strongly recommend the Zeiss 35mm F1.4 all around or the Voigtlander APO Lanthar 35mm VM which is just as good in every noticeable regard other than size and vignetting wide open. But if you need to have the absolute best this lens is for you.

Woke up at dawn this morning - fog rising from snow covered fields obscuring the mountains and rising sun... remarkable images from this lens!

This lens offers a critical addition and a challenge to the range finder experience.

This is simply the finest 90mm lens in the world, regardless of speed, for 35mm photography. Color rendition is outstanding with excellent flare supression for the focal length. The resolving power of this lens is already at the limit of the finest resolving color transparency films at f/2. Unlike some reviews that state the lens is slightly soft at its closest focus distance, my observation is it is tack sharp at all distances. I shoot almost exclusively the highest resolution films, both black and white and color, and I am always astounded at the reproductive quality of this lens. It is in my opinion the best 90mm lens that has ever been produced.

You don’t have to spend two grand or (much) more for a bona-fide Leica lens. Does Leica’s new lineup of f/2.5 Summarit-M lenses deliver true Leica performance?
