Leica - Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Safari Finish Lens + More - Black

The Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens in Safari finish is a versatile wide angle lens for Leica M rangefinder cameras, shaped for photographers who move between street photography, travel, portrait work, documentary scenes, and close detail studies. Its fast f/1.4 aperture helps when light is limited and gives strong control over depth of field, letting subjects stand apart with smooth background blur. The optical design uses one aspherical element to manage distortion and maintain clean detail, while the floating elements system supports consistent rendering across the focusing range. A newly engineered double cam unit brings the minimum focus distance to 1.3 feet, opening more room for dynamic close framing of food, storefronts, objects, hands, and layered narrative scenes. The 11 blade diaphragm supports a softer out of focus look, and the integrated pull out hood helps reduce flare when working outdoors or near strong light sources. For photographers seeking a compact manual focus lens with expressive rendering and everyday flexibility, this 35mm optic suits daily carry and dedicated image making alike.Manufacturer Included Items:Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH.
