Something to come: Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH initial impression

Leica 50mm Summilux ASPH

Leica Summilux 50mm f/1.4 ASPH in Silber Chrom
(micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8, multi off-camera flash flanking from both left and right with yellow filter attached on SB800 and SB700)

Yes! Silber Chrom! That was not some spelling error, it means Silver Chrome in Deutsch. I had this lens for more than 1.5 years now and had no opportunity to have a proper first impression due to the fact that I had no digital camera that is capable of accepting M mount lenses. This will change by the end of next week!

The chrome version of this lens, shown here, weighs a hefty 460gm. That is pretty heavy for a little guy of this size!
