A Few Frames: The Leica 35mm f2 APO-Summicron-M ASPH & Leica M11-P

The 35mm focal length is amongst the popular choice for many photographers. It’s wide enough to include more of the environment for portraits and but not so wide that you loose control of the frame. The 35mm focal length is controlled and precise.


How to improve a classic?

The Leica 35mm f2 Summicron-M ASPH is one of Leica’s highest performing lenses and has been a staple for nearly 3 decades with minimal changes, mostly cosmetic, from its first to second iteration. With the optics remaining relatively unchanged (with the exception of updated coating over the years) how else could this lens be improved? – The answer: Apochromatically corrected glass (APO).


Familiar yet Different

The addition of the APO corrected glass, new lens construction, and a new minimum focusing distance of 0.3m, the Leica 35mm f2 APO-Summicron-M ASPH maintains its compact low-profile size providing a familiar experience while delivering outstanding results! Paired with the 60mp high resolution BSI sensor of the Leica M11-P, the 35mm f2 APO-Summicron-M ASPH renders the finest details and color with stunning clarity and accuracy.
