Used Leica 3.5cm f/3.5 Summaron - U8

The Leica Summaron 35mm f/3.5 is a compact, six-element wide-angle lens introduced in 1946 as Leica's first dedicated 35mm optic for the rangefinder system, succeeding the earlier 35mm Elmar f/3.5. Its Gauss-type design emphasizes color correction and delivers an approximately 68° angle of view, well suited to street, documentary, and general-purpose photography. The lens is known for a classic vintage rendering — a soft glow wide open with sharpness improving markedly as it's stopped down, giving images a distinctive lower-contrast character prized by film and digital Leica shooters alike. Compact and precisely built to the high mechanical standards of period Leica lenses, the Summaron 35mm f/3.5 remains a sought-after choice for photographers seeking authentic vintage optical character in a small, easy-to-carry package.
