I have always loved the new Summarit Line f2,5 and f2,4, but they are never able to know who is the Designer....nobody knows?? Maybe Karbe?

In German public TV about Leica was nevertheless noted that a team under female leadership is responsible for the Summarit line. Their name was mentioned only briefly and also mumbling.
Even as a male Leica-fan, I find this behavior to be quite hurtful.

I swear the Summarit line has some of the best modern rendering even against the Cron and Lux lines, especially against the Aspherical lenses which tend to have really donut-shaped bokeh.

 

The Summarit 35mm f2.5 is my workhorse lens. I take it everywhere, and while it's not super shallow like a Summilux, it's rendering is really smooth and buttery. The 50mm turned out to be just as lovely.

 

As someone who has used one for the last 18+ months every week, I can thoroughly recommend it as a much more affordable alternative.

And as a non-chauvinist, non-misogynist, heterosexual male, I find your feminist sensitivity too exaggerated.

I had a Summarit 2.5/35 and very much liked it's rendering, often taking it out instead of my 1.4/35 Summilux ASPH. Unfortunately the corners weren't soft, they were downright mushy well into the image and I don't say this as someone obsessed with sharp corners.  Maybe it was just my particular lens but I sold it regardless.
