70y-old Leica Summarex 8.5cm f/1.5 on Leica SL2 | Special Dreamy Portrait Lens 

This was one of the last overlooked hidden champions 😎, you just increased the prices 😉

A beautiful piece of engineering. 👏👏👏

Absolutely stunning lens, beautiful engineering. The dreamy look is wonderful and I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but it reminds me of my Voigtlander 75mm f1.5 which is similarly dreamy at F1.5, but very clean and sharp the moment you stop down. Sadly my budget won’t stretch to such exotic wonders, so it’s great you share your insights.

Very very interesting presentation. Thank you. RS. Canada

I love that we can use those classics on these modern camera bodies. ✌️out

Wow, great review and wonderful looking photos. The lens cap is a beauty!

Great find Matt, Being able to use it seamlessly on your SL2 makes this lens very useful, rather than just being a wonderful collectable Congratulations and hope it brings you much enjoyment, kindness regards, Ron

it s great to discover unknwon old leica lens. the lens is very smooth. a nice lens. modern lenses are too sharp!

Nice review remindes of shooting film. Beautiful lens.

Thank you Math for this very interesting video. I hope you will regularly make this kind of video about old quality lenses! Concerning the most useful cameras for the use of vintage lenses, I'm hesitating between a Leica SL2-S (Microlens sensor designed for use with manual lenses) and the Nikon Zf (focusing aid for manual lenses for Leica M => in combination with the TT Artisan M-Z 6-bit adapter). It would be great if you could do a comparison of these two cameras for use with old lenses. You work with both camera brands. I'm sure you're the right guy for this kind of comparison!!! Thanks in advance

No Schraubleica, Math? Just kidding. 🙂 Very nice pics, absolut beautiful! Thanks for that - Greetings Andy

Going to enjoy this video. Looking forward to your XCD 90V f2,5 review 👍🏻

So happy you reviewed this lens. Very unique and a beautiful copy. Great images and model. How would this balance on an M camera?

That’s a beautiful looking lens! And heavy 🤯 the photos it takes are indeed very dreamy. Gives away that it’s a vintage lens. How much does a good one sell for nowadays?

Fascinating video! Great old lens. Though it wasn't marketed as such, it really is a soft-focus lens, at least by today's standards. If I had the choice, I'd prefer this one to the Thambar.

Hello, would you happen to know anything about the black colored summarex 85? Thank you, and great video!!!

If it anywhere approaches the price of the 75mm Summilux then buy the Summilux. This is why the 85mm Summarex isn’t more desirable.

Will Leica make a first party zoom/close up m to L adapter ?

Nice video but that lens would perform beter on a SL2 S like with all the old(er) lenses don't go above 24MP. But it is a typical nice look . Nice girl too, beautiful face, not overdone. I like these kind of girls as models. Your beautiful neighbor as I like to call them. Very nice and thanks for sharing

Could you possibly sell me the truly beautiful lens? I've been searching for it for a long time, and I would be so happy if you could sell it to me. I'll be waiting for your response. PLZ.
