Leica M-System High Speed Prime 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 SUMMICRON-M 28mm f/2 ASPH.
The constant companion for reportage projects
This new wide-angle Summicron lens is fast, compact and delivers exceptional performance. Its outstanding speed makes it particularly versatile and delivers brilliant imaging results even in difficult lighting conditions. Its full-metal lens hood with a screw mount protects the optical system against undesirable stray light and flare. A screw-in protector ring is provided with the lens to protect the filter thread of the lens when the hood is not in use.
LEICA SUMMILUX-M 21 f/1.4 ASPH.
Leicas fast 21mm lens
The outstanding quality, large angles, and compact dimensions of this 21mm Summilux lens makes it a versatile performer. It works from full aperture – with an extremely shallow depth of field and a subject separated from the background - to a medium stop which can sharply and effectively reproduce entire scenes.
SUMMILUX-M 28 f/1,4 ASPH.
A new milestone in the world of high-speed wide-angle lenses
The Summilux-M 1:1,4/28mm ASPH. is the first Leica lens which combines such a high aperture and focal length. It completes the high speed prime lens family. Thanks to its high sharpness in the focal plane and low depth of field, the image quality is unmistakable. In this way the subjects can be isolated from their surroundings with crystal clarity to create images with a unique visual signature. This makes it ideal for reportage photography and also for architecture and landscapes. The lens provides excellent imaging performance in all lighting situations. Notwithstanding these features it remains the perfect compact sized companion.
LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 f/1.4 ASPH.
Perhaps the most versatile M-Lens
The Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. pairs moderate wide-angle characteristics with natural dimension, which make this focal length very versatile. Whether it is a matter of selective focus in the close-up range, high-contrast available-light applications or landscape shots with immense depth of field, this lens performs wonderfully in any situation.
LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50 f/0.95 ASPH.
The world’s fastest aspherical lens
The extremely shallow depth of field at open aperture produces portraits and detailed studies of unequalled aesthetic effect. The result is outstanding image quality, comparable to the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH., which is considered the best standard lens ever produced. Even the light from one candle can be sufficient for handheld photography.
LEICA SUMMILUX-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH.
The standard lens for natural perspectives
The know-how of Leica's engineers, together with the latest developments in manufacturing technology, has resulted in this outstanding standard lens. It has a natural image angle that corresponds to a human eye view and is ideal for available-light situations, selective-focus shots, and even fine art photography – making it a top choice in assembling a Leica M-Lens outfit.
NOCTILUX-M 75 f/1.25 ASPH.
A revolution in portrait photography.
The new Leica Noctilux-M 75 mm f/1.25 ASPH. is set to become a legend in its own right with its incredibly shallow depth of field in combination with exceptional imaging performance, and a uniquely soft bokeh.
Its optical design allows precise, exceptionally detailed isolation of subjects form their background to create images of unique character. With a focal length of 75 mm, it is predestined for the creation of portraits with a natural look. A lens for M- and SL-Photographers who are seeking something truly special and know how to make best use of creativity in their imagery.
LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M 75 f/2 ASPH.
A telephoto lens for unique images
This compact, fast, short telephoto lens is acclaimed for its excellent image quality at maximum aperture and over the full focusing range from infinity to minimum distance. The speed of this powerful lens allows to single out a sharp detail on a blurred background. Still, the lens offers a natural angle of view that can not be achieved with 90mm telephoto lenses.
SUMMILUX-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH.
A new benchmark in portrait photography
Some lenses offer possibilities that go far beyond the ordinary and give rise to truly exceptional results. The Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. renders portraits with a breathtakingly shallow depth of field – allowing for the subject to stand out in perfect focus with amazing clarity while the background appears lusciously blurred.
The optical design of the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. is at the cutting edge of the latest lens technology and developments, delivering outstanding levels of optical performance even at its widest f/1.5 aperture. Its telephoto focal length and fast aperture are ideal for capturing perfect portraits even with available light, while its minimum focus distance makes it possible to get close enough to bring each and every fine detail to life.
LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M 90 f/2 ASPH.
A telephoto lens for many occasions
With the Leica Apo-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH. light fall-off is very low. Its fast aperture lets you shoot at a relatively short exposure time – even in dim light. The result is a minimized camera shake, even when shooting street scenes from a distance. Thus the APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH. is ideal for photojournalism, theatre and even portrait photography.
