This is not a Test nor a Review! I was just curious and am sharing my impressions and thoughts in this video.

In this video I am comparing my favorite 50mm lens the Leica 50mm APO Summicron with the Leica 50mm Elmar. The 50mm APO Summicron I am shooting on both digital (Leica M-D) and analog (Leica M6) to show how it performs on both of these systems. I got asked very often if it is worth buying the APO Summicron if one shoots with analog Leicas. The answer is yes :)

Thumbs down only for those who shoot night portraits at f/22 with their Leica Elmar lens adapted to their smartphone camera and believe that the image quality is superior to the one of a Leica Noctilux wide open on a Leica M body. ;-)

All photos in this video were taken with my Leica M-D or Leica M6/M6J on Ilford HP5+.
