This retro edition lens is modelled on a screw mount lens produced at the Leitz factory in Wetzlar from 1955 to 1963. Its unmistakable signature is almost impossible to reproduce by digital means and makes the lens a true classic that is now reborn in a revised edition, with exactly the same optical properties. The fact that this is no simple reconstruction is obvious at first sight: the design of the Summaron-M has been refined down to the essentials, without losing any of the character of its legendary ancestor.

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.

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.
