Had to do a few quick & dirty street tests with both lenses side by side- the "regular" Summilux 50 ASPH (my version is 11892) and the "Black Chrome" special-edition-becoming-regular-edition Summilux 50 ASPH (11688). Rumor out there in several forums has it, the latter (Black Chrome rehoused) lens is somehow sharper, although even Leica themselves claim both have exactly the same glass. All comparisons were done WIDE OPEN, where the true resolving character of the lens is nested to show differences. All tests done on M10-P Reporter. TL;DR: The lenses are EXACTLY the same, identical sharpness, identical chromatic aberration, identical flares etc. Anyone claiming otherwise must have had a bad copy of his original lux 50 ASPH when comparing the two against each other.

Hello everybody, as a recent owner of a Leica M11-p and a Leica in general I’m new to the forum. When i take photos (DNG, 60mp) the photos are not sharp when i review them on screen, but they do are razor sharp in Lightroom. Does anyone else has this issue? Is it the settings? Am I doing something wrong? Regards, Vincent

I did a direct comparison shot with the following 50mm Leica-M lenses: Summarit 2.5, DR Summicron, Summicron vers. V, APO-Summicron, Summilux V3, Summilux ASPH. All shot at aperture f2 (Summarit at 2.5), focus on infinity, lens hood, M10-P, jpg out of camera. Here’s the whole picture:

I was in two minds over this - I nearly dumped it but I liked its 'filmic' qualities so much I decided to keep it, and I now think it is one of the best images I have taken for a long time. To me it has the wonderful atmosphere of uprated Tri-X. Agree or don't agree, I don't really care, I just LOVE it - and wasn't it HC-B who said “Sharpness is a bourgeois concept". Leica M240 + 35mm Summarit-M f2.5 @ 1250 iso using available light only. 1/15th @ f5.6. Gerry

My Leica Photography Blog I recently picked up the new Visoflex for my M10-R. I had read that it wasn’t worth the investment unless it was for use with the M11. I love it. It has been bright and beautiful and helped me nail focus with longer lenses such as the 90 APO and 135mm. Has anyone had similar experiences?

Or have they secretly improved the 35m Summilux formula? Or maybe it's a curvature of field thing? (on an M9) https://www.lemondedelaphoto.com/Le-pique,5007.html (on an M11) https://www.ephotozine.com/article/leica-summilux-m-35mm-f-1-4-asph-lens-review-35877/performance
