Whatever helps them thrive ... looking at how the camera industry is being decimated, and how Leica themselves were in dire straits just a few years ago. Much as we may nitpick over this and that, we do want Leica to be around. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, the holy M series could fit into this category ... that said, the SL2-S is now very competitively priced, and the Q2 at €4,990 is a bargain compared to its direct competitor, the Zeiss ZX1 which is priced at €6,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted March 14, 2021 Share #51 Posted March 14, 2021 IQ aside, the APO would have been more appealing to me without the long focus throw to accommodate the closer focusing, in a more compact and simple configuration. Sometimes less is more, especially when the 'more' in this case cannot be accommodated via the traditional RF, which is my only M viewing mode.

TheGodParticle/Hari Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share #52 Posted March 14, 2021 17 hours ago, Steven said: So what's your verdict so far ? APO for the most unique rendering, or FLE for the extra stop (and the extra money in your pocket)? I'm still undecided. If the APO was smaller, it would have been a clear winner. But the fact that it's as long as the FLE, it leaves the debate open. For me it’s a buy. I will likely sell one of my 35FLE’s to part fund the purchase. I have almost all the 35mm lenses released so far, and I have to say this one is the King 👑 You decide yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodParticle/Hari Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share #53 Posted March 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Steven said: I have to add that the length of the lens is quite a disappointed. Hoods off, it’s the same as my summilux pre fle. So for some it will really come down to a decision “do you prefer the best IQ, or an extra stop of light of half the money ?” Yes, it is a tad bigger than the 35/2ASPH v1, but It’s not quite the same as the 35 Lux. Neither the preFLE ASPH, nor the FLE. Comparison photo coming up in 5 min Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted March 14, 2021 Share #54 Posted March 14, 2021 Now I own a silver 35/2.0asph and a 35FLE. For indoors I usually rather bring use the FLE and I do use f1.4 sometimes. I am not sure if I wanted to give up the FLE and f1.4 for the 35apo. However I plan to get a 28/1.4 and in this case I might not need f1.4 for the 35 anym more 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodParticle/Hari Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share #55 Posted March 14, 2021 The exact lens dimensions are readily available online. This is not a scientific comparison, this is a “in my hands and in front of my eyes” perspective: on camera: 35/1.4 FLE Chrom lens is the 35/2asph v1 and of course the APO35/2 Welcome, dear visitor!
