Exceptional by tradition.

Leica M lenses are always designed with the aim of being among the best in the world. The compact new APO-Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH. continues this tradition. What's more, its optical performance makes it stand out even among the M lenses. This masterpiece of German engineering opens up even more creative scope with its unusually short close-up limit, its exceptional sharpness, its unmistakable bokeh and its high light intensity. For even more Leica moments - not just on the Leica M, but also on the Leica SL2 and SL2-S.

Go close.
And also under the skin.

The APO Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH. goes one step further. And closer – for real close-ups. Its shortest shooting distance is just 30 centimeters, which is better than all previous M lenses. A floating element ensures the highest imaging performance right into the corners at all distance settings.

The wide adjustment angle of its distance ring of 300° allows extremely precise focusing despite the greatly extended close-up range. Combined with the high light intensity, the new APO-Summicron-M 1:2/35 mm ASPH. takes the design options to a new level - for images that make history.

Also for
portraits

Photographer Huw John has also used the APO-Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH. for portraits: "It's amazing how narrow the depth of field is. The eyelashes are extremely sharp, then the sharpness decreases again. With the 100 percent crop, I could swear it was shot with a focal length of 85 or even 105 millimeters!"

"The APO-Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH. adds a new dimension to portrait photography with stylish bokeh. Combined with the close-up limit of just 30 centimeters, this lens is a true all-rounder with wonderful color reproduction and amazing image quality. It could be the only lens you need!"
