PRODUCT INFORMATION
LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M f/2 90mm ASPH.
High-speed lens for photojournalism with apochromatic correction and aspherical lens surface
A
fast, newly computed high performance lens for portraiture and photojournalism.
Also excellent for quick snapshots when you want to take pictures
inconspicuously from a distance. Its high speed permits relatively fast shutter
speeds that prevent blurred images caused by camera motion. With an aspherical
lens surface and APO-corrected quality, this lens sets new standards in the
category of short telephoto lenses.
With the introduction of the new APO-SUMMICRON-M f/2 90mm ASPH., Leica sets yet another milestone in the lens program for the range finder system camera LEICA M6, carrying on the SUMMICRON line that has been valued by authorities for decades. For the first time, apochromatic correction and the use of an aspherical surface were combined in one LEICA lens. It sets a new standard in the range of high speed reportage and portrait photography.
This lens replaces the SUMMICRON-M f/2/90mm that was introduced in 1983.
The image performance of the APO-SUMMICRON-M f/2 90mm ASPH. could be increased significantly compared to its predecessor.
Brilliance and resolution are exemplary over the entire image field, already with open aperture. This performance can even be increased slightly by stopping down one aperture step.
Built-in sliding lens hood.
