Pros: Natural Yield - Perfect Colors

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: The strengths of this lens are the resolution and microcontrasto that make color gradations in an extraordinary way. The complexion is natural and the colors are bright. What's really unexpected is the quality of the portraits. Despite the resolution, it makes the skin great. This is really a surprise. If you are looking for a neutral yield, this lens is the best choice there is.

Pros: practically perfect lenses

Cons: Price. The Leica Store sells it for around € 7,500

Opinion: Simply perfect, you would want to leave everything else at home, even the summicron apo 75 mm asph, if it were not that this focal length is perfect for many types of photos. I use it with the Sony alpha 7 R II and the results are amazing. This coupled can take pictures with a definition of my sight. Perfect in every detail. The price is the sore point, I tried to buy it in the parallel market, but nothing to do. To have it during the summer holidays I had to look for it at a leica store and even there it took some time to get it. In short it is a rare gem.

Pros: Perfect lens.

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: Usually shot with the Summicron fourth version (11819). I didn't think there was that much difference. 11819 has a vintage personality and you can see it well. Somehow it remembers the film because all its small imperfections, being a lens of the 70s, give that flavor of the film of those years. The APO is another world, something spectacular, perfect. It seems to see a file taken with an average 100MP format. Basically the 11819 has a vintage film-like personality, which I love. The APO turns the machine into a very light medium format, perfection, I didn't think the machine sensor was that good, with the old lens you don't appreciate the sensor like that. It's a very three-dimensional lens, with the APO the files seem to come out of the monitor. Lately I have been trying the 100mp Phaseone with its top-of-the-range lenses. The impression that the on-screen files give is very similar to what I saw yesterday with the files of the Leica M Monochrom typ246+50apo, it manages to solve all 24mp and gives the impression that they are even more. A whole other world than my 11819 which instead has a more film mood and is as if it can exploit only part of the sensor's potential. That is my impression. In practice, the 246+50apo becomes almost a medium format. At this point, I have to say that it would also be amply justified. Anyway, I still love my 50, who has a lot to say, in his own way. But now I know what 246 can do for real.
