Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2.5 ASPH Lens Bundle with Accessories

The Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. lens is a versatile wide-angle prime that pairs a classic focal length with advanced optical engineering. The apochromatic design, incorporating six elements with anomalous partial dispersion and high refractive index glass, virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations by focusing red, green, and blue wavelengths on the same plane. This results in outstanding color fidelity and sharpness across the frame, making it suitable for various photography styles, from street to landscape. Further enhancing its optical performance, the lens features three aspherical elements with four aspherical surfaces, which minimize spherical aberrations.

This ensures sharpness and clarity from the center to the edges of the frame, even at the widest aperture settings. The combination of these elements contributes to the lens's ability to produce images with excellent detail and contrast. One of the standout features of the APO-Summicron-M 35mm is its close-focusing capability. Unlike other M-series lenses, which typically focus as close as 27.5", this lens can focus down to 11.8". This expanded focusing range is marked by a detent at 0.7 m on the focus ring, signaling the transition to the close-focus range.

For precise focusing and composition, especially at this close distance, using Live View or an EVF is recommended. Designed with practicality in mind, the lens maintains a compact form factor, making it ideal for daily use. The f/2 maximum aperture allows for shooting in low-light environments while offering control over depth of field. Manual focusing, a hallmark of Leica M lenses, is facilitated by a convenient focusing tab, allowing for intuitive adjustments during shooting. The lens also comes with a lens hood and leather pouch for added protection and convenience.
