Yes, around 2016. Supersharp stopped down and handles flare well wide open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Hi graphlex, Take a look here APO M 35 Summicron??. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
SiggiGun Posted January 31, 2021 Share #62 Posted January 31, 2021 If it's through that the last M Firmware includes the apo35cron information, the Lauch me be not too fare away. I think I will be before the M11 announcement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I should have said "revision" as opposed to "update" the design that dates to 1996. It will be interesting to see if a 35mm Apo Summicron-M lens is a retro focus design like the 35mm ZM Distagon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that mean it will be bigger? The current aspheric Summicron is already bigger and certainly heavier than older versions...

padam Posted February 1, 2021 Share #71 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) This is a picture from 2014, not long after the introduction of the 50 APO But maybe it was an early version of updated the Cron ASPH, which they've changed back to E39 in the final version.

Ken Abrahams Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share #72 Posted February 1, 2021 I’ve held off purchasing anything for 12 months. The M10M is one year old. If the 35 M APO came out soon, I could easily go for it. Someone is probably testing such a lens as we speak, prior to it’s release that is. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Rather interesting what we see here. But I'm afraid it could be fake lenses. Here the 28 mm Elmarit is much larger then the 35, even larger as the 21. In real with my lenses of today it is the other way round. The 28 Elmarit is smaller then the 35 and the 21. Or a bunch of new stuff is on the road??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture shows the older (1992-2006) 28mm Elmarit-M v.4 - for whatever strange reason. Maybe there was just no 28 Elmarit ASPH available to pose that day. Welcome, dear visitor!

padam Posted February 2, 2021 Share #75 Posted February 2, 2021 What's strange about that 35mm lens is that it uses E49 filters and the nameplate is not that thick, so the front element is bigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

E46 - but who's counting? (compare to the E46 28 and 21 right beside it). Leica is always prototyping ideas. I imagine they decided to see if conforming the 35 f/2 to E46 filters to match a host of other lenses would be a good idea - and built one (emphasis on one). (I get the feeling Leica would love to phase out all E39 lenses if possible. 😰 ) May have decided it added too much cost, may have added weight, may have gotten feedback from the Magnum (or other) shooters that the compact E39 size was still preferred, either for tradition or comfort.

padam Posted February 19, 2021 Share #77 Posted February 19, 2021 Well Leica Japan has posted this teaser image, so they are indeed sticking with E39 and looks like the hood is built-in as well, just like the APO M 50.https://jp.leica-camera.com/var/leica/storage/images/media/media-asset-management-mam/global-international/photography/m-system/m-lenses/high-speed-prime-lenses/rmmttwme/teaser/overview-teaser-normal/5353995-2-eng-MA/Overview-Teaser-normal.jpg 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Abrahams Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share #78 Posted March 2, 2021 On 12/26/2019 at 1:25 PM, Ken Abrahams said: I have the 35 M ASPH Summicron, a great lens however I am needing something "more" from a 35 focal length lens. I have been looking at the 35 M Summilux 1.4 and like the quality this lens is capable of. I am wondering however whether Leica might produce an APO M 35 F2.0 considering the SL 35 APO release? An APO 35 M would compliment my 50 and 90 APO. I use M lenses on my M Monochrom and SL cameras and tend to favour the 35 lens perspective. After a year or so from my original post it seems that my query around a need for the M 35 APO lens has come to fruition with its imminent release.
