The new generation of powerful and versatile wide-angle lens

Leica Camera AG's experience and expertise in the development of precision optical tools stretches back over 150 years. Since then, Leica has been producing hand-crafted cameras and lenses with no less aspiration than to be among the best in the world. This aspiration still gives rise to the spirit of innovation and the passion to rethink what already exists without compromise and to continually push the boundaries of what is technically possible. This is also the case with the Leica Summicron-M 1:2/28 ASPH.: With its further development, the consistently updated M lens portfolio offers a highly modern, versatile wide-angle lens.

The new high-performance, high-speed M lens features improved technical properties that make the Summicron-M 1:2/28 ASPH. ideal for the latest sensor technology and therefore for current and future camera generations. The combination of the wide angle with the extended close-up limit from 70 to 40 centimeters opens up additional photographic possibilities. Focusing up to 70 centimeters continues to be done via the rangefinder of all digital or analog M cameras. The extended close-up range between 70 and 40 centimeters can be precisely focused after a subtle resistance using Live View on the screen, Visoflex 2 add-on viewfinder or with the Leica FOTOS app.

With the compactness that is typical of M lenses, the new Summicron-M 1:2/28 ASPH. is also characterized by its handiness. The lens hood, which is integrated directly into the lens in a modern, round design, is particularly convenient. This can now be screwed in or out at any time with just one movement.

Inside the lens, 9 lenses in 6 groups ensure extremely high-contrast and detailed images. The focus ring can be adjusted in a remarkably quiet and smooth manner. The Leica Summicron-M 1:2/28 ASPH. is a testament to the precision that is so typical of Leica products and not only bears the "Made in Germany" seal of quality, but also significantly characterizes it.
