I decided the price premium for the 3 lug was not worth it. In France, where I bought my M5 in 2019, the premium was €200-300. The only thing I miss with the M5 is the absence of a motor/winder, given my physical problems in using a lever wind. I wonder if one was ever on the stocks but poor sales of the M5 decided Leica against production. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if one was ever on the stocks.... I suspect the bottom rewind crank would have complicated a motor installation. Less-than-full-width motor, to allow access to the hand-crank? Motorized rewind? (Which would have made the 1971 M5 as up-to-date as the 1971 Nikon F2 - horrors!) Not that Leica can't do complicated when it wants to (or even by accident). 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put down my name on the Wash DC Leica Botique wait list on 11/09 and got a call today. Can’t wait to compare the lens to the Summicron V3 and V4 I recently acquired. For some reason I enjoy the rendering of the V4 more than the Summicron ASPH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just shot with the 35 APO and it is the finest Leica lens I have ever shot with and I own all the significant M lenses from the past 50 years, and even sharper than my LHSA 50 APO. On my M10M it has incredible resolution, sharpness and the contrast is amazing as well as the fall off from focal point. Astonishing lens. I can't see using the close up focussing feature much but from .7 on out I can't fault it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the more hideous the price of a lens, the more demand there is for it. Only Leica can pull that off. After seeing @Ktsa5239's 35 APO images (above), I can definitely see why. 😎 Edited December 30, 2021 by Herr Barnack 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked the Summicron V4 (mainly BW) and Summilux FLE (mainly color) more than the Asph. But since August the Apo-Summicron is the only lens I use. 🤔😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Since this is a review thread I reviewed this combination a little more. Here are two additional pictures this time no iPhone but TL2. And I must add that I like the M5 very much. Of course its outer appearance is pretty quirky compared to all other Ms but this rangefinder is a joy to use. The ergonomics are very well executed, especially the exposure time wheel. And as you all probably know apart from the later M6 you can see your exposure time in the viewfinder. How cool is that? Bonne dimanche everyone! Welcome, dear visitor!

Such a sensitive meter and I love the lollipop meter display. For me better then the diodes of an M6. The shutter speed dial is so ergonomic. A marketing disaster but a great camera. Ha, ha, but now I'm mostly Sunny 16, so it's an M2 all the way. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
