Hello Jimmy! I was wondering what is the type of Focal length you feel more comfortable with? and why? Is there also a particular focal length that you like so much but can't have great results when you use it? And what would be the focal length that could help you to grow as a photographer? Maybe you could make a video about those topics in the future? Thank you love your video!

do you find the brass version too heavy on leica MP, M10P bodies ? the 35mm f1.5 brass version balances really well on these camera, the 28mm f1.5 is heavier and longer though.

Fantastic, as always. Learned a lot. Thank you, Jimmy.

If you want to sell your 25V, I’m ready to buy it. Thanks for the review!

if u can get your hands on the 80 f1.9 Im not sure why but when shot correctly it gives off a flexbody feel

I have the new Leica Summilux-M 50 (plus the f/1.0 and 1.2 Noctilux-M lenses) and will get their APO- (v. 5) and non-APO Summicron 50 lenses. I tested the latter two and found them to render differently enough to justify using both.

Agree that it looks great. No more ugly chrome hood bayonet ring in the front!

Does the light meter on the FM2 work with these lenses?

wei shen me bu shuo zhong wen?

I tried to get into this system. I decided to buy a couple lenses first since I'd heard they were terribly difficult to get and I didn't want to end up with a camera body I couldn't use. Bought one lens, had to camp the Hasselblad store for months for a chance to buy the other... and then the store didn't send it to me. They put another tracking number into my order, making it look like it'd been fulfilled. Took me two weeks to notice it wasn't my tracking number, and then two months of asking what was going on, before they decided to just cancel my order (costing me hundreds of dollars in currency conversion fees). I'm not about to start camping the store for months again, especially not after it screwed me this bad, so now I can't get into the system and will have to sell the lens I already got at a loss. Awful experience. I strongly recommend not attempting to get into this system, the lenses are too hard to get and their store policies are unacceptable.

I have the M6 2022 reissue and to answer your question - to turn the ISO wheel (which I agree it's very difficult to do) I simply take my thumb and use my shirt to give it some extra grip, and I turn it pretty effortlessly when I do, using just the thumb.

No thank you.

Would anyone know how does this lens compares to the Light Lens Lab 50mm F2 Elcan?

I'm sorry to say that but in a way every edited shot looked "cheaper" to me, I just loved the HNCS look!

Great video. If I need a small 50/2-ish lens, I'd look at this for sure. Currently I have the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 II and I love it!

Hey Jimmy nice review! Currently using a 35mm lux close focus and it’s excellent. For someone who doesn’t yet have a 50mm, which lens would you recommend? This silver lens looks incredible!

Finally received mine! I look forward to trying it out this weekend.

This lens is a winner lens for the price and it looks good. Been waiting for a compact 50mm. I own the 50 lux and its quite long for day to day use.

Thanks a lot Jimmy for reviewing this lens one of the first here on YT :) After seeing your test and results I will consider getting the Color Skopar and sell my 50mm Summicron, simply because I also have the 50mm 1.4 Summilux (previous version). The Lux is the best lens I ever own, but as an everyday carry it's a bit heavy (in the Leica M world) and somehow I have to decide which Leica glas I keep to free up some cash :D. This 50mm Voigtländer really looks like an amazing everyday carry lens and I'm curious how it will look and perform on my M3. Looking forward for upcoming videos from you!

No mention of prices !? Are you just too rich !? Voigtländer Color-Skopar 50mm 2.2 US $599 Leica Summicron 50mm 2.0 US $3000 Leica Summarit 50mm 2.5, no longer in production ! Used from US $1100 and up. So I think the Voigtländer Color-Skopar 50mm 2.2 are a winner, cheaper, excellent quality, good feel, good look, compact, light weight. I do not get why Leica stopped the production of Summarit Lenses !!!

You mentioned the 50mm APO Summicron US $9300 !!! But the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm 2.0 Aspherical are 99% as good at US $999 !!! So, you have to be too rich or too stupid to get the Leica APO lens !

Thank you Jimmy, I was really looking forward to this review and as usual, you nailed it. Can I justify a 3rd Voigtlander 50mm? Hmmm. BTW, love your taste in books.

Thanks for the video Jimmy. 📷

thank you for comparing 50APO! That's great lens! Would You Compare the LightLensLab 50 F2 Elcan too? I think the size and F/Aperture are quite near too!

Thanks for the video! I bought the silver version, and, I agree, it's aesthetically beautiful on both my silver M10-R and black M10M. The vignetting is strong wide open but, at least till they get a profile for it in Lightroom, the one for the Voigltander 50mm LTM f2.5 Color Skopar seems to correct everything well. I have the Leica 50mm APO Summicron-M and it's my favorite lens, but this will probably be the one that's on the camera the most here forward just because the form factor is so great and it's still incredibly sharp.

There is a typo in the thumbnail image.

Thank you for doing this review! Really helpful as I have been debating on whether acquiring this one vs their VL 50mm APO!

Nice job Jimmy! I have the version 1 and love it. 😁👍

Hi Jimmy, thanks for the video. Was curious why you didn't carry out all edits within Hasselblad Phocus (full version not the Mobile)? I think for a more scientific control, I would like to see photos under strobe lighting of a colour chart with grey card and 16 bit TIFF of the Calibrite ColorChecker Digital SG. This has way more colours than the 24 from the passport. Product photographers who need precise reproduction of colours independent of the eye would need this. 8% of males are colour blind ! I also not sure what people can tell from photos embedded in a CZcams video except relativity between two sets of photos.

you can tell this guy has that NVA $$$ because he casually has a downpayment for a house (in some places a full purchase price) sitting on his desk without batting an eye

入手了

May I ask how is it compare to f2 type two ultron

Hey, just purchased the Rigid Summicron to replace the Zeiss Planar 50mm f/2 on my Leica MD. As the Zeiss was too sharp for me the Rigid has a buttery smooth non aggressive rendering that almost makes digital look like film...!

Thank you Jimmy, what a nice review!!!

想看看和徕卡50/2.5对比

good job , and cannot praise enough your beautiful cozy set up . I mean the room youre in . lovely vibrant foliage with chestnut accent of window panels . pleasant to watch video . cheers

Yeah lens hood can be take off, and the filter thread is 39mm.

Love your Leica M9 videos!

柴柴也很好奇新鏡頭喔哈哈 好可愛

The new canon eos R5 II is a X2D killer

Spot on Jimmy. The 38mm and 90 f2.5 are both amazing, fyi.

To be honest, I’m waiting for your review since release, since I want to place an order on this one because of 50mm and the size and weight, but no clue about it optical performance. Specially curious about the comparison with the Summicron 50mm v5 😇

Very strange, I can take off the hood of mine without a problem

impatiently waiting for the review!

I think you should be able to put off the lens hood, but perhaps to changing temperatures while being packed outside it got stuck for a while 🫣

I also bought the lens, gonna receive it in a couple of days. Looking forward to your review Jimmy!

遮光罩應該是可以拆的，可能是旋轉方向不一樣？

没买那个f3.5的APO么？

期待新影片！

Looking forward for the review jimmy!
