Leica's legendary 35mm f/2 for M-mount — the ASPH version delivering outstanding wide-angle performance.
The Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. is one of Leica's most important lenses, produced in multiple versions since the aspherical redesign. The ASPH designation means it uses aspherical elements for superior correction — a significant improvement over the pre-ASPH Summicron 35mm designs.
Optically outstanding — sharp from f/2.8 with excellent performance even wide open. The aspherical element provides superior corner performance and reduced distortion compared to non-ASPH versions. Leica's signature rendering with beautiful tonal gradation and contrast. Manual focus rangefinder coupling.
Leica M mount with 39mm (E39) filter thread. Approximately 255g — compact and lightweight. No autofocus — manual rangefinder focus. Built-in retractable lens hood on current versions. 6-bit coded bayonet for digital M communication. Metal construction throughout.
Available used at luxury prices — Leica 35mm lenses are among the most sought-after in photography. Multiple versions exist with varying prices. Check for haze and separation on older copies. The 35mm focal length on Leica M is considered the definitive street photography combination.
