The intricate optical design and construction of the lens are responsible for its outstanding sharpness and imaging qualities. The Leica Super-Elmar-M 21 mm f/3.4 ASPH. is constructed with eight lenses in seven groups. At the same time, the use of one lens element with two aspherical surfaces and four lenses with anomalous partial dispersion ensure that aberrations are reduced to an absolute minimum.

As with all Leica lenses, the Super-Elmar-M 21 mm f/3.4 ASPH. was designed and developed by Leica specialists in Solms, Germany, and represents the perfect combination of optical and technical expertise. Particularly reliable and with enduring value, every Leica lens is manufactured from only the highest quality materials and is assembled with meticulous precision, completely by hand. The combination of cutting-edge technologies and extremely thorough manufacturing processes guarantees consistently excellent quality.

The LEICA SUMMILUX-M 21 mm and 24 mm f/1.4 ASPH. are remarkable high-performance lenses. They combine the advantages of ultra-high speed, such as selective focus and excellent available light capability with outstanding imaging and extremely wide angles of view. This extraordinary potential makes the new Summilux?M lenses simply indispensable for the professional M photographer. Their special reliability and value retention is the result of using high-quality materials and intricate assembly by hand at the Solms factory. The combination of state-of-the-art technology with meticulous craftsmanship based on skill and experience guarantees the constant quality of every single Leica lens, once again widening the creative potential of Leica M photography.

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 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.
