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

Pairing a favored focal length with a bright maximum aperture for flexible control, the black Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH Lens is a standard wide-angle prime that is prized for image quality and refined optical design. Comprised of seven elements in five groups, and incorporating a single aspherical element, this lens eliminates nearly all distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the focusing range. This design also contributes to a high degree of sharpness, contrast, and clarity, and the f/2 maximum aperture enables working in difficult lighting conditions with ease. Additionally, an 11-blade aperture contributes to smooth out-of-focus rendering when working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques. Despite its wide-angle focal length and fast maximum aperture, this manual focus lens still remains relatively compact to benefit its use as an everyday, go-to lens for M shooters.

• One aspherical element is incorporated within the sophisticated optical design to reduce spherical aberrations and nearly all distortions for increased sharpness and clarity.
• Fast f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.
• Manual focus design provides a minimum focusing distance of 2.3' with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:17.5.
• Compact overall design is ideal for use in everyday shooting situations.
• An all-metal threaded lens hood is included, as well as a threaded protection ring for use when the lens hood is not attached. Additionally, metal lens caps are also included.
