Full picture just had color adjustments and basic sharpening. Also cropped a detail. Shot at f2,4 on a M11. I haven’t any experience to compare to other leica lenses but I feel it’s pretty sharp. @1,4 looks are bit different. I’ll se if I can find a picture to post. Br Peter Welcome, dear visitor!

I also own the ASPH summilux and would say colors on the reissue are a bit more special and more reminiscent of film. At 1.4 the reissue is not as sharp; bokeh is similar. I would go with the reissue if I only could pick one, but I'm a lucky photographer and will keep both. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I used a Nikon 50mm 1.2 adapted on my Canon 5D (still use the lens on my analog Nikon) The reissue has that feeling for me.. soft wide open, but very sharp stopped down. I went with the Black Chrome Asph. because it was the only one that delivers a all in one solution for me with my current needs (it is so gorgeous in many ways) but the reissue really speaks to my heart.. I will definitely consider it as a second 50 one day, if I don't have to part with my Asph. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WvE Posted August 29 Share #349 Posted August 29 I'm on the fence for this lens, but I would love a lighter (black) version, should that ever come. I have had the Lux 50 BC before, but sold it because of its excessive weight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Abrahams Posted September 3 Share #357 Posted September 3 SL3 Summilux M 1.4 50 Classic - I posted this image somewhere else and wrongly identified the lens as Apo Summicron SL 21. I was shooting two cameras and both SL 21 and 50 1.4 Classic. I thought it was sharp enough to be the Super Apo Summicron SL 21 even with its considerable cropping. Welcome, dear visitor!

tnwy Posted September 4 Share #360 Posted September 4 I'm too on the fence for this lens (11714) and the CF ASPH (11728), mainly because of the focus shift. I use M11P and focus with rangefinder 99% of the time. I also owned the ZM C Sonnar 50/1.5. Love its rendering but hate its wild focus shift. Can someone share the real-world focusing experience with this “classic” lens on a M body? Especially within the distance range of 1~2m and f/1.4 to f/2.8?
