Following on from my earlier videos, the Unboxing and the 1st Shoot with the Leica APO 35mm Summicron, this video focuses on comparing the APO to other 35mm lenses compatible with Leica M mount cameras. Digital, Film, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, MP, M8, M9, M10 and variants.
The lenses selected to compare to the APO, are the current Leica 35mm f1.4 FLE, Leica vintage (1974) 35mm Summicron, Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 Nokton Classic and a vintage Nikon Nikkor 35mm f1.4 AIS manual lens.

An unexpected discovery for me, at least, in testing, I discovered the Voigtlander focus shifts when changing the aperture for any particular focus distance. This apparently is common problem with this particular lens. Welcome any comments from viewers who have this lens.
In the video I introduce Peter Karbe, Leica's principal Leica SL and M lens designer. Here are some reference videos that may be of interest to viewers.
