A new generation of 28mm Summicron

Ex-Display Lens 

Comes with 2 year worldwide Leica warranty

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.

The Macro-Elmar-M 90 mm f/4 can be used as a compact 90 mm telephoto lens or, in combination with the Leica Macro-Adapter-M, for macro shots up to a magnification of 1:2. Either way, the lens provides an incredibly high imaging performance.

Without the adapter, the Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90 mm f/4 is an extremely versatile telephoto lens ? for example, for portraits with shallow depth of field and in travel photography for capturing details in landscapes. For reportage photography, the Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90 mm f/4 allows photographers to capture discreet shots at a greater distance from the subjects. The Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90 mm f/4 is a compact and lightweight alternative to existing Leica M-Lenses of this focal length. When not in use, the lens can be collapsed to save valuable space in the camera bag.

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.
