Currently there are 373 images in this album, all with the 50AA:

The shots are really, really, sharp. My 50 Summicron is the only lens I do not use so much. The quality was fine, but not stunning like the AA.

I would like to see more APO photos on film. Can anyone share?

This image has caught my attention.  Clarity, tonal range. 

And it compelled me to re-read your comprehensive review, Thorsten:

… probably if developed and scanned at the local supermarket, otherwise that's a very doubtful metric.

Even my dirty, hard pushed TriX scans reveal detail way beyond 12MP, when scanned in quick method.

I wouldn't be surprised this could be easily improved with a drum-scan or Imacon scan, but what does that add to the discussion anyway, as we will see 1024px sized samples in this thread anyway - done with film or with a 24MP digital 

 

I too would like to see some film use with this lens, preferably in difficult light (lots of point light sources in the background, city scape night shots, close up portraits with side- and back light, …).

"there are around 20 million "quality" pixels in a top-quality 35mm shot. That's a shot with a tripod, mirror-up, with a top-rate lens and the finest-grained film, in decent light. 12 million are more typical for "good" shots. There may be as few as 4 million "quality" pixels in a handheld shot with a point-and-shoot camera or camera with a poor lens."

Here's one random contribution from me, taken with M240 plus 50APO. Image is post-processed with a VSCO profile (I think Astia). 

This lens is the best in the M line, in my view. Images rival those taken with an S2/70.

The problem with this lens is that it induces moire even in the M240, on architectural subjects!

I can assure you that if it had been fake I'd have chosen a photo of someone far younger and far prettier.
