As to why I paired the APO 50 to the Leica SL, it's because I wanted to evaluate how the Elcan 50 and Dual Range 50 performed on a digital Leica rangefinder.

Moreover, I selected the Leica SL as a substitute, because its high ISO and low light performance were similar to the M10. I included a Leica SL in this comparison, because I don't have three Leica M10 bodies - sad isn't it. Leica M10 + Leica Elcan 50mm f/2 Summicron

Leica SL + Leica APO 50mm f/2 Summicron ASPH But more importantly, I needed a higher speed film for whatever nighttime photography I was able to salvage.įor the digital portion of the comparison, I brought the following: I selected it, because I had three rolls lying around. The film I used for this comparison was Fujifilm Superia Venus 800. Leica KE-7A + Leica Elcan 50mm f/2 Summicron Leica M4 + Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron Vers. Leica M6 + Leica APO 50mm f/2 Summicron ASPH So which three lenses and six cameras did I bring? For the film portion of the comparison, I brought the following: However, the extra weight of carrying so many cameras nearly killed me over the course of the two hour photowalk. In retrospect, my over-preparedness in compelling me to bring more cameras did speed up the switch between lens testing. So logically, I brought two sets of cameras for each of the three lenses - one digital body and one film body. Why six cameras, you ask? Obviously, I wanted to save myself the trouble of switching between three lenses on a single camera body. And to think I originally thought the idea of hauling six cameras with me as being clever.
Needless to say, I really got myself into a pretty pickle with such overreaching ambitions. But I was doing a lens comparison of sorts when lower ISO would have provided a better demonstration of lens performance. You see, Hong Kong may indeed look better at night. Unfortunately, I didn’t exactly think through the finer points of my Eureka moment. So for the sake of capturing the city at its best, I decided to wait for the cover of darkness, when the bright lights of the big city would come alive.
