Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: The Leica 35mm Summilux-M Lens Episode

This episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk is all about the 35mm Summilux-M. Since its introduction in 1961, the 35 Lux has been the go-to lens for reportage and those needing an extra stop over the Cron. And while we've done an entire episode on all the 35mm M lenses (which you should definitely check out here if you haven't seen it yet: • Red Dot Forum Camera T... ), Leica has recently released two new additions to the 35mm Summilux family - the 35mm Steel Rim Classic and 35mm Summilux-M ASPH FLE II. We've got both of the new lenses, along with every single generation of 35mm Summilux, on hand so we can cover the history and show the performance of each one. This is a deep dive you will not want to miss. Between extensive testing and live shooting, you'll be able to see which 35mm Summilux is right for your M kit.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask away live during the show, or email us ahead of time at [e-mail].
