Leica Camera has introduced a next-generation model of its classic M lenses:
the Leica Elmarit-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. each delivering enhanced image performance and quality, thanks to their new optical design.

The Elmarit-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. is the most compact lens in the entire portfolio of Leica M lenses. Thanks to its small size and light weight, this lens is a particular favourite with street and reportage photographers. Compared to the previous model, this new generation lens offers significantly reduced image field curvature, which brings considerably improved image performance with high resolution and brilliant resolution of details. The Elmarit-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. is practically distortion-free from infinity to its closest focusing distance of 0.7 metres, and provides an exceptionally clear view through the Leica M viewfinder.

A new generation of 28mm Summicron

Leica are pleased to announce a new member of the Leica M-System family:-

Leica Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH., black anodized finish.

This expands the Leica M System lenses portfolio with this exciting new high speed wide-angle lens.

Characteristics:-
- This is the first Leica M Lens to combine an initial aperture of f/1.4 with the popular 28mm wide-angle focal length.
- The 28mm focal length makes this lens not only ideal for photo journalism but also for architecture and landscapes and in all lighting situations.
- Extreme sharpness in the plane of focus and very shallow depth of field, enables subjects to be isolated with crystal clarity.
- Exceptional imaging performance over the entire focusing range and outstanding contrast rendition even in the finest structures.
- Excellent reproduction of details across the whole image field.
- Manufactured using the very best materials, assembled completely by hand.

This compact, fast, short telephoto lens is acclaimed for its excellent image quality at maximum aperture and over the full focusing range from infinity to minimum distance. The speed of this powerful lens allows to single out a sharp detail on a blurred background. Still, the lens offers a natural angle of view that can not be achieved with 90mm telephoto lenses.

This compact lens uses all of today?s technical possibilities to achieve high speed and remarkable imaging quality. It features aspherical surfaces, special glass types with partial anomalous dispersion and floating elements. It is the ideal lens for delivering intimate views of scenes, nature, landscapes and people, whether at infinity or at close-focus range.

Apochromatic colour correction and an aspherical lens surface are combined for the first time in this lens of this type. Of its five individual elements, two are made of high-refraction glass, while two others feature anomalous partial dispersion. Its brilliance and quality of resolution are exemplary even at full aperture. Light falloff is very low. Its fast aperture, for a 90mm lens, lets you shoot at relatively short exposure times even in dim light, helping to minimise the effects of camera shake, for instance when photographing street scenes from a distance.

A telephoto lens of uncompromising quality with apochromatic color correction, the resolution, contrast, and sharpness of the 135 mm APO-TELYT are optimal at all apertures. It also has very little light falloff even at maximum aperture and minimal distortion, resulting in top pro-level performance. This lens can render the finest details clearly and in rich contrast. As the longest focal length in the Leica M system, it's ideal for shooting over long distances and is the perfect completion of any high-class outfit. It permits distinctive landscape shots with typical telephoto effects: the foreground and background are visually compressed. Moreover, it enables frame-filling portraits to be shot from afar, so the subject is undisturbed.
