With its impressive angle of view of 107?, this new TRI-ELMAR conquers 16 mm super wide-angle photography in perfect Leica M style. Due to the minimal distortion and barely perceptible field curvature, it can be recommended for highly demanding architecture photography even at the 16 mm setting. Used on the digital M8, it produces the image effect of a 21 - 28 mm lens, still enabling extreme wide-angle views. The ultra compact shape is achieved by two aspherical elements. A new design of the interior focusing significantly enhances the quality in the close-focus range through an adaption of the floating element principle. Brilliant field depth can therefore be used from a distance of 0.33 m for hyperfocal photography.

This lens is supplied WITHOUT finder.

The compact APO-Summicron-M 35 f/2 ASPH. pushes the limits of the technology to deliver uncompromising optical performance. With a minimum focusing distance that is rarely found within the M-System, the new lens provides an even greater scope for creativity.
A masterpiece of German engineering for next-level authenticity.
Leica APO-Summicron-M 35 f/2 ASPH.
The ten lens elements are divided into five groups; three elements feature aspherical surfaces (one of them on both sides). Six elements are made of glasses with anomalous partial dispersion, which not only reduce chromatic aberrations to almost zero, but also provide apochromatic correction ?a quality that is rarely found in lenses of this focal length.

Thanks to the latest developments in the fields of optics and precision engineering, the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. sets a new standard in the fast wide-angle lens category. Whether used for
selective focus in the close-up range, high-contrast available light applications or landscape shots with extensive depth of field, the lens delivers incomparable results.
The new LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. differentiates itself from its predecessor by incorporating a floating element: the lenses behind the aperture blades are constructed as a floating
group that changes its position relative to the front lens group during focusing. This ensures outstanding imaging performance at closer focusing distances.

The Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. pairs moderate wide-angle characteristics with natural dimension, which make this focal length very versatile. Whether it is a matter of selective focus in the close-up range, high-contrast available-light applications or landscape shots with immense depth of field, this lens performs wonderfully in any situation.

Unlike previous Silver chrome lenses, due to awareness of weight the Noctilux 50mm 0.95 and Summilux 35mm 1.4 in Silver Chrome are Aluminium based lenses, mirroring their Black Chrome counterparts.
