Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH., the definitive fast wide-angle for the M system at luxury pricing.
The Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. is the current-production fast wide-angle for the M system — this listing covers the standard (non-FLE) ASPH. version that improved dramatically over pre-ASPH variants. Previously enriched under mislabelled Zeiss listings as IDs 2895-2897.
The aspherical element provides significantly better wide-open sharpness than pre-ASPH versions while maintaining the fast f/1.4 aperture for low-light and depth-of-field control at the 35mm street photography perspective. The Leica rendering combines sharpness with character.
Build quality is current-production Leica M with machined brass and the precision expected of Leica's finest. The 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. is one of the most important lenses in the M system — the definitive fast wide-angle for serious M photography.
The Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. commands strong prices as one of the most essential M-mount lenses. The aspherical correction provides the optimal balance of speed and sharpness at Leica's most important focal length.
