LEICA SUMMICRON-M f/2 28mm ASPH.

Virtually no other camera is so frequently cited as reference in available light photography as the Leica M. To give the M System even greater versatility in difficult light situations, the popular 28 mm focal length with an even faster speed was added to the line of Leica Summicron high speed lenses:

the outstanding LEICA SUMMICRON-M 28mm f/2 ASPH. By means of an extremely complex optical computation, the use of special types of optical glasses and the inclusion of a lens element with an aspherical surface, it was possible to create a lens with outstanding performance that is in no way below that of the excellent performance of the LEICA ELMARIT-M 28 mm f/2.8. As a matter of fact, it even surpasses it.

Considering the fact that the new lens is one full stop faster than the LEICA ELMARIT-M 28 mm f/2.8, it is all the more remarkable that the designers were able to keep the dimensions and the weight of the new lens is virtually the same as that of the older lens.

Outstanding imaging performance across the entire field, with uniformly high resolving power and brilliance make this lens an indispensable companion, especially in difficult light situations.

Whether in twilight or in poorly illuminated rooms, the LEICA SUMMICRON-M 28 mm f/2 ASPH. produces optimal results, even at full aperture and it captures the genuine mood of a scene entirely without the use of flash or of a tripod. When the work is done, it can easily be tucked away in the leather case that comes with it, ready for new photographic challenges.
