A masterpiece of optical engineering, the Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. delivers exceptional clarity across the frame. Its apochromatic design uses six specialized glass elements to eliminate chromatic aberrations, while four aspherical surfaces ensure razor-sharp detail from edge to edge. The bright f/2 aperture excels in low light and offers superior depth-of-field control, making it equally at home in intimate portraits or expansive landscapes. At just 30cm minimum focus distance, it captures subjects closer than any M-series lens before it. Compact and refined, this is the definitive 35mm for discerning photographers.

The APO-Summicron-M 35 f/2 ASPH. goes one step further, by facilitating true close-up imaging with minimum a focusing distance of just 30cm, surpassing previous M-series lenses featuring a typical close-focus distance of approximately 70cm. With a smoothly engineered detent at 0.7m on the focus ring, the user can feel when the lens steps into the close-focus range and indicates when Live View or an EVF should be used for precise focus and composition. This compact 35mm lens is also distinguished by its compact form factor, making it ideal for use as an everyday lens. Like all M-mount lenses, it features a manual focus design, and a convenient focusing tab for more refined control during use.
