Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH

Name: Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH
Brand: Leica
Availability: InStock

Leica's widest Summicron for the M-mount system — the 28mm f/2 ASPH delivers an environmental wide-angle field of view with the resolving power and three-dimensional rendering the Summicron name has always promised. On any Leica M body it is rangefinder-coupled for precise manual focus and produces outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness from f/2 wide open. It is the natural choice for street, travel, and documentary photographers who want a wider perspective without sacrificing Summicron optical quality. Leica M-mount only.

GearFrame's Take

The definitive wide prime for Leica M shooters — Summicron-sharp at f/2 in a compact, perfectly balanced body that disappears in any street kit.
