This is the so far the best Leica 8-element talking on the youtube. I could feel the deep love and passion even from the other side of the screen. LIKED and SUBSCRIBED!!

[@StevenTanno]

Thank you Ethan :))

[@marlonsouza9224]

After parte 1… this is a MUST! Fantastic vision and presentation of the most amazing lens Leica made - 8 element 35mm with googles. Sadly I will never be able to use it in my iiif… but I already love the f2 50mm Summitar look… it also gives a wonderful rendition that is a bit better than reality… like a painting…

[@hans-peterwiechers8621]

Wunderbarer Vortrag. Informativ und emotional. Habe mir gleich ein 8-element gekauft und bin begeistert.

[@StevenTanno]

Das ist großartig Danke!

[@impressionsoflight9263]

I really enjoy your videos, you have a calmness about you that’s very easy to listen to. Thanks to your video my 1960 8 element arrived today so I guess it’s noodles for dinner for a while :). Thank you.

[@barrykirsten7517]

A beautiful video, Steven, the best I've seen. Not only informative, but passionate. I'm convinced I must get myself an M3 with this lens. I've noted that the images in your other videos and on your Flickr site are superb, but I have to say that images here from this lens are unique. Thank you for making this video. And don't worry about your English, it's beautiful!

[@robertstacy8438]

Curious if you have used the Light Lens Lab 35mm f2, which attempts to replicate the Leica 8 element. I have found it to be quite magical. The flare is a little different but it does use flint glass and wide open you get a excellent glow, as well as the highlights do seem to be retained even with overexposure. It'd be interesting to see your perspective on this.

[@StevenTanno]

I was hear it but have not tested it. Thank you :)

[@philmtx3fr]

[@baladino]

Steven, Kimura Ihei was indeed a Leica photographer. I discovered his work online about 2 years ago. However so much of his work remains out of print. He visited a particular japanese province more than 20 times. Maybe it was Akita. I am not sure. He might have well used the lens since many of his images seem to be taken with a 35mm.

[@StevenTanno]

There was an exhibition of his photography in Tokyo 2 years ago, and it was a color negative film he shot in Paris. I am amazed that he may was using 8-elements lens at that time, because the colors are so similar.

[@johnkanjian3479]

[@chrisloomis1489]

Steven : I do not know how , the Canon L39 stack up against these , I love the 50mm DR F2 , the best , then the 35mm 1.4 for the glow of the skin , but yes this F2 8 element is delicious. I only have one Leica lens now the Asph / Apo 90mm F2 Summicron , and I treasure that lens , yes it is 6 bit in black. I love my 90 AP / ASPH

[@StevenTanno]

90 Summicron is a APO lens, yes it's great. I was use a Canon 50/1.2 L39 lens but I found its bright part a little bit flat, looks exhausted.

[@12barko]

thank you for your video. a quick question if you may - if I have the lens and i will remove the googles, can it be used on a modern Leica mp without any adjustments?

[@StevenTanno]

No, you can't. You must to adjustment it :)

Thank you James, yes I use UV filter, But I only have one Leica UV filter for two Summicrons.

[@Msaxplayer1]

Hello, did you have your lens cleaned? It seems a lot of them have a little haze inside. Thank you sir!

[@StevenTanno]

Don't buy any have mist, haze or fog lens, that will very difficult clean up. But my friend has cleaned his hazed Leica lens by some Toilet cleaner containing hydrochloric acid, maybe it will useful.

[@vu_derArchitekt]

You can not expect a perfect condition from a 60-year-olds lens. A little haze or foggy in the border is acceptable.

[@dussadeelebkhao7859]

Hi Steven, I got this lens from a friend of mine, the gogle was removed. So, my question is can I use this lens with Leica M2? Thanks in advance.

Greetings Tanno-san, I thoroughly enjoy your video reviews. Very informative but communicated more like a personal conversation than a lecture. Very nice. I have watched your reviews on both the Leica Summicron M DR 50mm f2 and the Leica Summicron M 35mm f2 V1. Tanno-san, if you could only afford one of these jewels, which one would you purchase? Thank you, Chaps Okinawa, Japan

[@StevenTanno]

of course 35mm f2 V1, it's most unique lens in Leica vintage. Thank you Chaps :)

@@StevenTanno thank you for your quick response. Much appreciated. My Leica Guy in Hong Kong upped the ante just a bit. He’s got the ‘Steel Rim’. Leica Summilux M 35mm f1.4 V1 Steel Rim 1964. But in the end I think that I’m going with my original plan and get the DR 50 f2 to permanently mount to my M3. Thank you, Chaps

[@StevenTanno]

@@chapsibnnoel3626 Very Nice! thank U :)

[@kevin-parratt-artist]

Simple question: My 35mm Summicron with goggles is number: 1671682 Is this the 8-Element lens?

[@StevenTanno]

yes it is

[@vu_derArchitekt]

summicron 35 v1 is great. But today it is very hard to find one with good quality. And the price goes crazy. So unless you are a collector, a new modern summicron is more practical. When I was in Tokyo, Leica Ginza refused to CLA my summicron 35 v1, they don't do services for old M also.

[@StevenTanno]

You can go to Kanto Camera, they are the best. they have high professional skills, not even worse than Leica.

[@gerryhardman9060]

Thank you thank you for sharing your thoughts on this excellent lens. Years ago I was bitten by the Leica bug, my first serious camera was a Leica M3 with a 1.5 50 mm Summarit lens. I loved that camera but I found it very limited. Years later I borrowed a Leica M6 with a 35 F2 Sumicron and compared it with my Nikon FE with a 35 mm F2 AIS lens. When I examined the slides with 100 power microscope I could see very little difference. The only difference I can really see was that the Sumicron and had less flair. Not trying to take anything away from Leica it is a niche camera which is not mass produced like the Nikon. The lens that blew both of them away was the 55 mm F3.5 micro Nikkor the sharpness of that lens was incredible and I paid $50 for it. I also enjoyed seeing my depth of field in the SLR viewfinder which the Leica doesn’t show. But you can’t beat the Leica for being unobtrusive when doing things like street photography. However the new mirrorless cameras can now do silent photography and adapt most vintage lenses to their bodies. That’s where I find my older Nikon 1 V1 and J5 to be excellent performers in this genre. Regards Gerry
