Has anyone tried the 50mm APO on the M-10

Reason for the question; In December I bought a SL plus Noctilux 0.95. The plan was to just use that body lens combination as I love the way the Noctilux renders. Of course Neil being Neil I ended up adding  a couple more M lenses to the SL meaning a 21mm SEM, 35mm lux, and a 90mm APO............. Plus a few adapters, the S to SL, Nikon to SL and most recently Hasselblad V to SL so you can see I am covered with the SL...................By the way if anyone here is considering a M-10 but not sure about the rangefinder then I would highly recommend a Leica SL ..........amazing tool and easy peasy to shoot with M lenses :) :) :)

 

Anyway I want to give the M-10 a go but not with the monstrosity of a Noctilux 50mm 0.95 but with a smaller 50mm, so I'm thinking 50mm APO or maybe just use my 50mm f3 Elmar 2 collapsible .......yea that might work

 

Anyways as always comments feedback most welcome

What's there to try!?

 

The Apo-Summicron-M 50 mm Asph is an excellent lens, even on the M10. End of report.

Thanks for your feedback buddy............wary wary helpful

You need the APO about as much as you need the M10 (having bought a ton of stuff since you wrote in December that you were done). Do you really expect any bad reports from APO users? Just keep buying.

Correct I am not expecting any bad comments about the APO on the M-10, my question was (I think that's what I said) Has anyone tried the 50mm APO on the M-10?????

This morning I read a bunch of reviews on the 50mm APO and most of the comments were with regard to the 50mm APO on a Monochrome............hence the question 

So please stop jumping to conclusions Jeff, I'm just trying to get the feel for anyone shooting with the APO on a M-10............cheers

 

They also have a red one which will just work perfectly with a Arte Di Many Red Case

I don't own the 50 APO or the M10 (yet). But given the quality answers you have received thus far, I feel completely qualified to provide input on your question. ;)

 

On the M10 Facebook pages, lots of people have been posting pictures shot with M10 and 50 APO. The photos generally look great, with superb color, excellent sharpness and microcontrast in the in-focus areas, and a nice bokeh. Everyone that discusses it seems to be thrilled with the combination. So take that for whatever it's worth.

I have the M10 with the APO50 Summicron. Quality wise it's a beautiful combination. Same as on the M240 really.

 

Balance is perfect on the M10.

thank you sir. Do you have any pictures taken with this combo??
