LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 f / 1.4 ASPH - SILVER REF: 11675

Leica Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 Aspheric MK II

35mm lenses are the most popular in the M-System. Their blend of moderate wide-angle features with natural dimensions make this focal length extremely versatile. It is often the first choice on a new M camera, which is why many famous photographs have been taken with a 35mm lens.
The Leica Summilux -M 35mm f / 1.4 ASPH MK II is a new revised version of this popular wide angle lens for the Leica M rangefinder camera system. Thanks to the latest developments in the fields of optics and precision engineering, this LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f / 1.4 ASPH. MK II sets a new standard in the high-brightness wide-angle lens range. Whether it's selective focus at close range, high-contrast ambient light applications, or landscapes with a wide depth of field, this lens provides persuasive arguments in any situation.
More compact, higher performance
If we compare it to its predecessor, the new LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f / 1.4 ASPH. MK II now incorporates a floating element: The lenses behind the diaphragm blades are constructed as a floating element that changes its position relative to the front lens group during focus to ensure that the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 1: 1.4 / 35mm ASPH. MK II achieves equally impressive performance at shorter focus distances.
Another new feature is the threaded-mount rectangular metal lens hood that contributes significantly to maintaining the compact dimensions of the lens.
The optical design of the new LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f / 1.4 ASPH MK II has also been optimized for use with Leica M digital models, fully displaying its superior performance especially when mounted with the LEICA M9. LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f / 1.4 ASPH. MK II also provides excellent results on M film models and is predestined to be an indispensable component of any Leica M system.
Even at full aperture, the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35mm f / 1.4 ASPH. MK II shows unparalleled performance in the compact 35mm lens segment: impressive optical performance across the entire range of focus distances, from infinity to minimum focus distance, excellent contrast, superior level of detail in the entire frame and closing it from f2 onwards is virtually comma-free. It is very difficult to improve these excellent optical performance by closing the diaphragm.
