Leica M-System Classic Lenses
The best lenses in available-light photography
All lenses are characterized by their compact design and impressive lens speed, yet they are also made to provide the most striking and uncompromising image quality - even at an aperture of f/1.4. In available-light photography they give a unique image look, with narrow depth of field, to the pictures.
LEICA SUMMARON-M 28 mm f/5.6
A Classic Reborn.
The Summaron-M is modelled on a screw mount lens produced at the Leitz factory in Wetzlar from 1955 to 1963. Its unmistakable signature is almost impossible to reproduce by digital means and makes the lens a true classic that is now reborn in a revised edition, with exactly the same optical properties. The fact that this is no simple reconstruction is obvious at first sight: the design of the Summaron-M has been refined down to the essentials, without losing any of the character of its legendary ancestor.
LEICA THAMBAR-M 90 f/2.2
A Legend Returns.
Following the re-issue of the Summaron-M 28 f/5.6, Leica are now further expanding their line of classic lenses with the Thambar-M 90 f/2.2. Once again, the exterior design has been carefully modified, while the optical calculations remain unchanged.
The new Thambar-M is an exciting counterpoint to Leica’s other 90mm focal length lenses, and allows the modern-day photographer to experience the unique characteristics of this classic lens; or, as the Greek would say, ‘me thambose me teen omorfia tis’: to be blinded by beauty.
