Due to the enormous demand for the Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) ‘Leitz Wetzlar’, launched in November 2019 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of ‘Ernst Leitz Wetzlar’, Leica is now offering a second edition of the product version.
The Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. ‘Leitz Wetzlar’ is also being offered as a limited edition. The unique feature of this lens is the grey and white colouring of its engravings and scales. The retaining ring for the front element of the lens is additionally engraved with the name ‘Leitz Wetzlar’.
The Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. lens is an ideal addition to every photographer’s Leica M system. Its combination of moderate wide-angle characteristics and natural reproduction of proportions makes it a particularly versatile lens. Regardless of whether it’s a matter of selective focus in the close-up range, high-contrast available-light applications or landscape shots with immense depth of field, the lens delivers persuasive arguments in any situation.
The Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. ‘Leitz Wetzlar’ is limited to 500 examples worldwide.
