PRODUCT INFORMATION
LEICA SUMMILUX-M f/1.4 24mm ASPH.
Super
fast, compact, with sensational performance even at full aperture, these lenses
will enable users to redefine wide angle low light photography.
Great care has been taken in the optical designs of the lenses. Despite their pronounced wide–angle characteristics, these lenses can feature extremely shallow field depth. This allows for creative and expressive photography not usually available when shooting wide. Stopped down to medium f values the depth of field can be so great that an entire landscape can be depicted in sharp focus.
Vignetting and distortion, the parameters traditionally difficult to control in fast wide-angle lenses, have been corrected to such a high degree in these new Summilux-M lenses that they are hardly noticeable in practice.
The combination of lens speed and width has now become possible by using leading edge lens blank-pressing techniques for aspherical elements. Hand assembled in Solms Germany, the lenses also combine meticulous craftsmanship ensuring life long reliability even in challenging user conditions.
A metal body viewfinders will be available as sn accessories. These new viewfinder will have markings to enable use on Leica M digital and film bodies.
