That goes for high and low inside and outside Leica. People I've talked with through the years just love Peter Karbe. This private person in front of 100 people, so enthusiastic about the details of the design that he can keep talking about it. I rememeber when he was doing a talk some years ago about the Noctilux f/0.95. He obviously loves everything about lenses. What keeps him busy and enthusiastic in his office is funny enough also what can get him out of the office and speak enthusiastically and forget his shyness: They were both released in May 2012 in Berlin, and promoted a new level of resolution in details and sharpness. The Leica M Monochrom "Henri" with the Leica 50mm APO-Summicron-M ASPH f/2.0 lens. He reminds me of a shy school boy that avoid s eye contact, but then when you ask about the airplane he is holding in his hand, he forgets his shyness and explains enthusiastically all about it.

When I visited the old Leica Camera AG factory in Solms in Germany in January 2013 I video-recorded a talk I had with legendary lens designer Peter Karbe.

He knew it was possible to make it, but unfortunately at the same time he also knew it would be impossible to demand from customers what it would cost.
The story of the ridiculously normal looking $8,250 Leica 50mm APO-Summicron-M ASPH f/2.0 lens for the Leica M cameras is the vision of a perfect lens, dreamt of for years by the master lens designer Peter Karbe.
I asked myself "how is it the best?" and when I came up short, I interviewed the designer of the lens himself, Mr. The Leica 50mm APO-Summicron-M ASPH f/2.0 has been labeled “The best 50mm lens in the world”.
