In this video I compared two 35mm f/1.4 lenses on black and white film which are Nikon AI-S 35mm f/1.4 and the Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 Pre-A.
The results are quite interesting.

This is one of my favorite comparison videos I've ever seen. Rarely do I find photographers who are so focused on the beauty of the image rather than corner sharpness and all that other stuff that I do not care about
@@nsquezada27 much appreciate ❤️
Thank you for this comparison. Very well done.
Thanks for watching!
I just bought a nice used Nikon 35mm f1.4 AI for my Nikon FM3a - I am pleased to say, that I acually prefer the rendering of the Nikon lens in your video from the Leica Summilux ❤
Hallo Steven, I really like vintage rangefinder lenses they are so small. I have a Summicron 35mm version 3 which flies a little bit under the radar. It's a lot cheaper than the Summilux and minimum close focus distance is 0,7m. It's sharp in the center and has the Leica glow wide open. It compliments modern lenses pretty well. Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable insights.
Thanks, yes I also have a old Summicron and I love its glow.
Nikon 35mm is the winner for me. Beautiful captures.
Your videos have such a vibe to them - absolutely love watching your channel. Insightful comments, lovely images and pov video (not to mention music) just awesome!
Thank you so much:)
Always I am enjoying your unique perspective and point of view.
To my eye the Nikkor lens is sharper, much better contrast, and way better flair control. Fact.
One of the biggest missed opportunities that Nikon has done is to really sell the amazing quality of their lenses.
Lieca has spent so much energy and money telling everyone how amazing their stuff is... while Nikon has spent so much time and money making their stuff amazing.
Thank you Steven for making another great video.
Really nice comment!
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing Steven.
Great video and lovely pictures, thank you for sharing Steven!
Great video. I have exactly both lenses and cameras. I cannot surge difference between them. But with a large BLOWUP there might be a difference which might show the Leica as better.

A wonderful video. Two great lenses, each different, each for better reasons.

Thank you for the video. I shoot digital, but when I do find the Nikon 35mm f1.4 ais in my price range, I will definitely consider it. I want to compare it to the Minolta Rokkor 35mm f1.8
Thank you, Steven San, for this thoughtful piece . When I first started to take photography seriously, certainly it was the contrast and sharpness of Nikon's lenses that appealed to me. Only later did I begin to appreciate the dreamier character that I found in Leica's lenses. I began using the Leicas for personal work, but continued with the Nikons for commissions. I still use both systems, but in recent years I am drawn more to the Leica. Not though, because one is better than the other. Is poetry better than prose? Is Bill Evans better on vinyl or digital? Certainly his genius can be heard on them all. And whether Mount Fuji better when seem from the beach or through a gap in the curtains of a poor man's window? No one can say? but perhaps it is the work of a photographer to ask the question.
Enjoyable comparison! When I, 1st used Nikkor lenses, I immediately noted the higher contrast, to my Leitz lenses. Sharpness definitely! Leitz became Leica and lenses all upgraded! I still have not updated my Leica Gear! I enjoy my equipment, old and battered.
Many of my Nikkor/Nikon lenses are superbly made! Equal to Leica!
Totally agree!
Really enjoyed this video. Makes me wish I had a Nikon. Could you do a video in the future where you compare your summilux to your 8 element summicron? (Even a short video would be awesome)
Great idea!
Very interesting. Subjectively, I preferred the 'feeling' from the Summilux photos, but I can't decide why - is it their particular look, or maybe (not deliberately) there is something intuitive for you with the Summilux, and the photos themselves are simply better? For the Nikon, perhaps it would be interesting to find a pre-AI version, to see if the earlier glass types and coatings bring that lens even closer to the Summilux. The good news is that they are not too expensive.
Oh, one suggestion: maybe if you do another lens comparison, when you show the photos, maybe label them 'lens A', and 'lens B', and reveal the identity of the lenses later in the video?
Anyway, another great video Steven, thank you.
Thank you so much😄
I had this Nikon 35mm and loved it.
Lost it long ago on an island under strange circumstances.
Then 7 years later visited this island a second time and almost lost my life --
so somehow I tend to regard it as having given the lens to retain my life...
great story👍
May I ask which mysterious island？
Lovely sir, thank you best
Most welcome
Thank you! ..
▪︎ I use a Nikon F3, mostly for some specially adapted lenses. I don't have a general-purpose prime lens. This might just be the one for me. 👌
▪︎ For most 35mm film work, I'm using Leica M cameras: M3, M2, M7 & M-A . I have 35mm Summicron with goggles and a Summaron, both of which are wonderful.
However, your presentation of the Pre-Asph Summilux f1.4 still haunts me, 😶
.. and that lens is on the wish list, where it may have to remain for a while.
Good to see you again! Cheers from Kevin, Philippines /Thailand /Australia. 🎨 + 📷
Glad to hear that:)
Hello Steven ! This is Rahul Deshpande from India. Feel happy to see your videos.
Kindly review Nikkor 80-200 2.8 I see that you have used it on your F3
Enjoy 🎉
I'll think about it, thank you.
Amazing 👍🤙👏🇦🇷
