Matt Stuart, special guest at the upcoming Street Photo Milano – SPM, tested the new Leica APO-Summicron-SL 35mm f/2 ASPH on the field.

As a moderate wide-angle prime, the new APO-Summicron-SL 35 f/2 ASPH. is a universal lens. Its fast autofocus, robust construction and exceptional imaging quality make it a go-to lens for all areas of photography. It also couples beautifully to the Leica SL-System and has been conceived for a long working life under professional shooting conditions.

Inspired by his first impressions of the lens, Matt shot the following series on a sunny Winter’s afternoon at The Ritz.
