  • 21 August, 2013 – Leica 50mm f/2 APO Summicron ASPH Review

    Every now and then a new lens comes along, that while necessarily expensive, sets photographer’s hearts a-flutter with its potential for extreemly high image quality.

    Such a lens of the new Leica 50mm f/2 APO Summicron ASPH. Our contributor Mark Dubovoy has been using one for a few weeks on his Leica M as well as on a Monocrom. Find out what Mark thinks of the new 50mm APO.

    "Having been to Antarctica with Michael and Kevin, I would say after having traveled the world and shot nearly my entire life as an exhibiting photographer,  it was one of my highlights in my life and I talk about it, all the time.  The images and experience of seeing something visionary and nearly extinct from the world, to see and experience the wildlife and scenery that does not fear humans is amazing.  The images I shot there won me two Smithsonian awards and nearly 18 other international awards". – Tim Wolcott
