One of the most revered lenses in the entire history of photography — the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH combines a decisive street focal length with the fastest aperture available in the standard Leica M prime range. The FLE (floating lens element) design introduced in 2010 corrected the only weakness of the original: close-focus performance now matches the excellence at infinity. At f/1.4 it produces a distinctive three-dimensional rendering that no modern computational process can replicate. Rangefinder-coupled for manual focus on all Leica M-mount bodies.
The most iconic lens ever made for 35mm photography — the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH has defined how the world looks through a Leica for three decades.
