BigBabyEarl Posted May 17, 2016 Share #1 Â Posted May 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have been lusting after a 35 double aspherical for quite some time. I have a 35 FLE as well as some other lenses. My question to you all is it worth selling my FLE and another lens to fund this mythical beauty or is the hype just not that real??

Advertisement Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Hi BigBabyEarl, Take a look here 35 AA. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
TheGodParticle/Hari Posted May 17, 2016 Share #2 Â Posted May 17, 2016 There is a difference in rendering but no, it's performance will not blow your monitor away. Â My honest advice to the photographer in you would be to keep your existing kit and spend the money on a nice vacation to take some good pictures and make some nice memories. Â My equally honest advice to the collector in you would be to keep your existing kit and get this lens on top.

TheGodParticle/Hari Posted May 17, 2016 Share #4  Posted May 17, 2016 Whats a 35 AA?? 35 Double Aspherical.  Oh no. It's your turn to go down the rabbit hole. I hope you have €10,000 - €15,000 spare change lying around to deal with the hunger pangs that will soon follow.  Best of luck!

Moritz Posted May 17, 2016 Share #5  Posted May 17, 2016 Hi,  i had the 35AA and unfortunatly had to sell it to finance a trip to Algeria. It is indeed the most beautiful lens Leica has ever made. I used it with my Leica M7 and Leica M6 for B&W  photography  With the new Leica Monochrom the lens must even more be a gem. I am now trying to get a copy again for a decent price.  Thus it can not be 6-bit coded because there is a screw in its way.  Best Regards from Germany,  Moritz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWC Doppel Posted May 17, 2016 Share #9  Posted May 17, 2016 I bought one at a good price a few years back, thought I'd sell on as I had the 35 ASPH. Which I prefer to the FLE but it's the last lens if sell its superb  The colouring and combination of sharpness and broken (which has a sense of movement akin to the Nocyilux f1) is wonderful.  Worth it ? ofcourse not at collector prices but better than any other 35, oh yes very much so IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
