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.

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.

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.

Close focus distance up to 0.4 m

Possible by a patent-pending double cam unit newly developed by Leica engineers. As a result, the rotation angle of the focus ring could be almost doubled to 176°in comparison to the previous model – with the same compact size of the lens.

Legendary Lenses, Reimagined

The Leica Classic Line is dedicated to re issuing historical Leica lenses whose specific imaging characteristics cannot be

created either by modern lenses, nor in digital post processing

While the exterior design is carefully adapted to complement the contemporary lenses of the M System, the optical design

of the original lens design remains unchanged

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.
