Much has been written about the new SL Summicrons, in particular the way that an increased contrast helps separate the subject from the background. Since the M 50mm APO was the forerunner of these new SL Summicron lenses, I'm wondering if the 50 APO also demonstrates this effect. Bear in mind that I'm not referring to depth of field but the effect of increased contrast at the point of focus. Here is how the Leica website describes this in its description of the 35mm SL Summicron: "(S)harply focused objects show much higher contrast than objects that are out of focus. This means that objects “snap” more distinctly out of the foreground or background and more effectively isolate the subject. This creates a three-dimensional visual effect with very impressive apparent depth." Here is a link to that webpage, where there is also a chart that describes this effect: http://en.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-SL/SL-Lenses/Prime-Lenses/APO-Summicron-SL-35 Again, my question is, have users of the M 50 APO noticed this effect?

Hi i have used m240 +50mm apo+24mm elmar for years and were very happy with them bıt then sold them all and bought Fuji GFX.It is a medium format camere and far better then Leica for landscape style photogtaphy but i really missed range finder experience and bought M10 with 50mm apo again.24mm Rlmar was like the wide angle of 50mm apo.It had great clearence and contrast even at the farest corners. But i had to use evf every time i wanted to use 24mm and most of the time it was waitşng in my bag. Now i am thinking of 28mm lenses. 1.28mm lux : too big for me 2.28mm summicron.Focus shift problem? 3.28mm Elmarit Do you think Summicron or elmarit has the bitingly sharp clearence of 24mm elmar?I have bought 50mm apo becouse of its optical perfectness so i am not after historical charavter or look wiht bad cormers and blurry files. Sould i buy 24 again or one of these 28z Thanks

I've finished the third article on the Leica M 246 where all sample photos are taken in Paris with the 50mm APO-Summicron-M ASPH f/2.0 on the Leica M 246 It might be an interesting comparison with the previous article made in Munich with the Noctilux. And I look at adjusting images when over-exposed. Also: A slideshow with music, lyrics and Leica M photos! Enjoy! http://www.overgaard.dk/leica-M-Monochrom-Type-246-Digital-Rangefinder-Camera-black-and-white-sensor-page-28-The-Leica-M246-Goes-to-Paris.html
