I take this opportunity to thank you Jono for your reviews and pictures over the years. Not just the sheer quality of your pictures and writing, and in particular how you render light (I imagine decades of shooting with film behind it), but also and quite importantly for how inspiring you have been. It feels to me that you thrive to share your passion and enthusiasm with objectivity and integrity. I find personally that the humility in your approach gives so much stature, calibre and credibility to your findings and reviews. I spent some amount of money after reading over and over your reviews and looking at your pictures over the years, simply because you portrayed an idea of the best a camera or lens could do. It pushes me to improve and do better. Actually, whenever I see your pictures, I feel the compulsive urge to leave home right away and shoot ! 😂 I imagine you as someone who focuses on the good you can see in someone. And it feels to me that is what you are doing with your reviews, whether lenses, cameras and bags (oh these Fogg, perfection on a strap, up to the little French flag on the side). Many thanks again for sharing your work, and please keep shooting with Leica gear! 🙏☺️ Thank you so much Hanno, that’s really kind, and it makes it all worthwhile. Certainly I’m trying to share my passion, and have a bit of fun in the meantime, I’ve been careful not to put ads on my website, and I don’t ever get paid for the Leica articles and pictures, not for any moral reason, but because it leaves me free to enjoy it without any outside pressure. I’m not sure that my family or friends would recognise words like integrity and humility though 🤪🙂. Anyway - thank you again - words like yours really do refill the engine for writing the next article! All the very best Jono 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrostl Posted March 14, 2021 Share #182 Posted March 14, 2021 I will forever and always associate this lens with chickens, so thank you for that 😂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the 28 lux because of that chicken photo, and now, seeing Jono's 35 APO chickens I am tempted again... I would like to propose that the membership of this forum initiate a campaign to have @jonoslack's Clint made the official mascot of Leica. Once it becomes official, every Leica store and gallery will have a ten foot tall statue of Clint proudly mounted on the marquee above the entryway to aid Leica disciples in finding their way to the entrance of the promised land. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe turn Leica stores into Los Pollos Hermanos outlets, there is tenuous connection, Madrigal Elektromotoren GmbH is German (fictional) business after all. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds to me like Herr Barnack might be generously volunteering to wear a chicken suit at photography trade shows and Leica shop openings etc. I can almost see it now ...

Pete. Yes, by all means. I will become the official Leica Chicken. I'm thinking the chicken suit should be Leica red. With a cape, bearing the Leica logo. We'll have to work out the chicken suit details with Dr. Kaufmann. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted March 15, 2021 Share #198 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Since this started out as a thread about the APO 35mm Summicron and it has transmogrified into a thread for connoisseurs of poultry, perhaps the remedy is to start a thread about chickens and wait for it to transmogrify into a thread about the APO 35mm Summicron. This thread being permeated with talk of chickens and @jonoslack's beautiful images of Clint has caused a disturbing side effect - my wife has asked why I am now intermittently jerking my head like a chicken as I walk about the house. Anyone else have that? Edited March 15, 2021 by Herr Barnack 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFriendly Posted March 20, 2021 Share #199 Posted March 20, 2021 I watched Peter Karbe speak about M lenses, so I'm wondering, is the new APO-Summicron-M 35 still part of the 3rd generation or is it the first of the 4th generation?

otto.f Posted March 20, 2021 Share #200 Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Yeah, good question: the 4th would logically be more compact I’d say and I would put the APO35 in the 3rd and the APO50 in the 4th. By the way, the robustness aspect is quite disputable. The development in this sense is not at all as linear as the graphic suggests: compare for instance the indestructible Summaron 35, which can, on the M4, be used as defense weapon by war photographers, with the Summicron 35 iv (on an M6).
