Drawing inspiration from the classic screw-mount variant introduced in 1955, the silver Summaron-M 28mm f/5.6 Lens by Leica has been modernized to meet current standards and is equipped with an M-mount bayonet. Despite these updates, it retains its ultra-slim profile and vintage charm. This wide-angle prime lens is particularly noted for its compact and unobtrusive size, making it an excellent choice for everyday photography. Its symmetrical optical design, featuring six elements arranged in four groups, produces images with natural contrast and distinctive vignetting, contributing to a unique character and an analog feel. The manual focus capability allows for focusing on subjects as close as 3.3 feet, while an integrated depth of field scale facilitates pre-focusing, enabling quicker and more spontaneous shooting. Additionally, the lens comes with a lens hood crafted from solid brass, designed to complement the lens's classic aesthetics and protect against unwanted light interference that could compromise image quality.
- Modeled after the original screw mount version from 1955, this revised edition utilizes the same classic optical design but updated with contemporary materials and 6-bit coding to better support working with digital rangefinder cameras.
- Both a wide-angle field of view and discreet profile, which measures less than 0.8"-long, make this lens ideal for street photography and other everyday shooting applications.
- Classic symmetrical optical design uses six elements in four groups to achieve a distinctly analog appearance with natural contrast, fine rendition of details and sharpness, and noticeable vignetting for an aesthetic, unique image quality.
- Manual focus design provides a minimum focusing distance of 3.3' with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:33.4. An integrated depth of field scale aids when using pre-focusing techniques, and a long focus throw offers greater precision for isolating subjects in the frame.
- Included lens hood is machined from solid brass to further recall the historical character of the lens.
