Here it is, the comparison review between the the 2022 35mm Summilux Steel Rim Reissue and the Vintage V2 pre ASPH Summilux.. As Leica calls it, the original, self proclaimed 'True King of Bokeh' and father to the Leica 35mm V4 summicron...

If you've watched my earlier video, the Vintage 35mm V2 PRE-ASPH summilux is one of my most used lenses, especially with film photographs, and the primary lens that has been glued to my black paint Leica MP and my Leica M6 for the past few years.

In this video, you’ll find many sample pictures. All the black and white photographs featured in this video were shot on Fomapan 400+ and Ilford HP5 pushed 2 stops, developed in Ilfotec HC on a rotary processor. The color (C41 and ECN 2) photographs were shot on either Kodak Vision3 250D, 500T, Gold or Ultramax.
