Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH Lens | Black

The black Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH Lens combines a preferred focal length with a bright maximum aperture, offering versatile control. This standard wide-angle prime lens is highly regarded for its exceptional image quality and sophisticated optical design. It consists of seven elements arranged in five groups, featuring a single aspherical element that effectively minimizes distortions and spherical aberrations across the entire focusing range. This construction enhances sharpness, contrast, and clarity, while the f/2 maximum aperture facilitates operation in challenging lighting conditions. Furthermore, the 11-blade aperture design ensures smooth out-of-focus rendering, making it ideal for selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques. Despite its wide-angle focal length and rapid maximum aperture, this manual focus lens remains relatively compact, making it an excellent choice for everyday use by M shooters.
