LEICA SUMMICRON-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH

LEICA SUMMICRON-M 35 mm f/2 ASPH Overview The versatile all-around lens delivers phenomenal overall image quality, high contrast and exemplary resolution over its entire aperture range, even wide open. By closing the aperture down only 2 stops to f/4, it delivers maximum resolution and contrast that is unsurpassed. It also impresses by being virtually distortion-free. The word "standard" is particularly fitting for  this  astoundingly compact wide-angle jewel. It turns any Leica M camera into a highly compact and elegant unit, allowing the photographer to shoot discreetly, without drawing attention.   Excellent sharpness, high contrast and a superb resolving power over the entire focusing range are evident at full aperture. With its aperture stopped down modestly to f/4, this versatile lens delivers a maximum of resolving power and contrast. It is all the more impressive because of its virtually perfect absence of distortion. That makes it a world-class lens among fast wide-angle lenses. In spite of its high speed and its superb imaging performance, it is surprisingly small. Every Leica M camera fitted with this lens becomes a highly compact and elegant unit.
