Analog Review: Leica 35mm Summicron ASPH. 

Love seeing you in my sub box! Such a beautiful lens and it’s definitely on my bucket list when I have enough money!!

It's so nice to see you making videos again. :)

Thank you. The video is a perfect balance to technical info and creative work using this lens. My next purchase

I've owned a trio of Summicrons (35mm/50mm/90mm), along with a M6 TTL (.72) since 2000 when I went all-in on a new system. Over the years I would guess that I've had the 35mm ASPH mounted on the camera more than 75% of the time. A few years ago I picked up a Minolta CLE and a M-Rokkor 28mm f2.8 that had been refurbished by Minolta back in the day. While the 28mm is very handy to have along at times, image quality aside, the 35mm focal length remains my go-to choice.

Glad you're making videos again fam

Great pics of a great city. As a US Navy officer I feel compelled to tell you the HMS Belfast is a ship not a boat. Keep up the outstanding work!

Great to see that You are back!

I like how you got the pigeons to fly out from behind you after you said introduction. 😁

I agree that 35mm should be the standard lens instead of the 50. Now we just need to go back in time and get fast 35s for our film cameras

Been a while, good to ‘see’ you again

Thank you for this and saying that it’s okay to get a Canadian version.

Proud owner of a Canadian version 4 here :-)

Great video. I agree on the 28mm and glasses bit. It's so close to working that it drives me nuts. I keep coming back to 35 because it just works and I don't have to think about it!

Nice video sir! Thank you for the review. I just picked up the v1 8 element version . Excited to put it to the test!

We missed you Jonathan ;)

Love my 35mm cron v4!! There’s nothing in a 35mm that even comes close to the bokeh you get from it.

It is always very easy to listen to you talking, great video! One question, does the front section of your lens hood unscrew from its base(the part with the claws) ? I have the silver version, it’s super stuck…

Great review! On which camera are you using to shoot your videos?

That lens hood tho

Thanks for the video. You use an argentic film, I see. I have two M6 with old 35/2, 90/2 and a 50/2 by Zeiss. I like their a lot, I just use a Fuji x100v when it rains. I use 35 as standard length. What scanner do you use, please ? Many thanks. PS the rangefinder is very fragile and the revision by an official as "Maison du Leica" in France is expensive, more than 900€ for a M6 with the 35/2.

Can you please tell me where I can get the metal lens hood ? Is there a part number ?

What's the part number on that vented hood? It's not the 12585 is it? I didn't think it was compatible with the ASPH version 1.

type4 is about 50% more expensive than the asph 2nd hand (in black).

Awesome videos and channel. If you’re traveling and only have one lens no price what lens do you choose?

I sold my M6 and 35mm f2 and brought a Leica Q. No regrets love this camera
