a quick corner & centre side-by-side sharpness test

Thanks! This is quite astonishing, although in line with my recent experiences with the FLE; I sometimes began to think what’s wrong…

From what I see in the test results the Voightlander is much better then the FLE 

Yes but people will be talking for years about FLE‘s character at F 1.4. Who’s shooting landscapes at infinity @ f2 on regular basis?

This thread has faded... nobody using the 35 APO LANTHAR on their M's?

Not here, yet. I’m surprised more people haven’t posted about it. I plan to get one, given my delight with the 50 APO Lanthar on mainly my M 10 Monochrom, and also after reading Reid Review’s detailed look into the 35 APO Lanthar vs M 35 APO Summicron.

I guess one thing I’m toying with is the 35 Lanthar is even longer than its 50 sibling, so more rangefinder blockage. But then for landscapes or architecture on a tripod with live view (my normal set-up), it’s a moot point. And being more telecentric, I’d guess the 35 Lanthar could potentially work more happily on non-M bodies too such as the SLs?

I sold this lens because it was too big, too heavy, too sharp, too sterile, no character at all.

At first it was fun to see all my sensor could offer and to crop in massively. When that wore off, I ended up wanting more (or less depending how I look at it).  

Here’s a snapshot without editing. I believe this was f4 at MFD. You can crop in massively and still see the veins in the wings. The bees were about just a few mm in length (wasn’t easy to freeze and get them in focus)

My favorite rendering of this lens though was a picture I took at f2.8 and I missed focus

What 35 did you get instead?

That was the 50 apo not the 35. I don’t much like 35. I shoot the Cron now and that really ticks all the boxes for me. I haven’t desired anything else since.

Has anyone taken shots with the 50mm APO Lanthar with a Tiffen Black ProMist or other diffusion filter? I am curious whether the diffusion filter can soften some of the "too sharp for portraits" criticism that these lenses can have. I am considering selling my 50 Summilux for this lens (don't use 50mm as much but like it for portraits) and am wondering how a diffused/softened approach to this lens might work out. Thanks!
