Lens Description: The new Summarit-M models feature compact construction in a lens speed class that is totally new for Leica. The Leica Summarit-M 35 mm f/2.5 gives all users of rangefinder cameras with a Leica M bayonet access to the smallest and lightest 35 mm lens available, offering the outstanding image quality that is the hallmark of all Leica M lenses. In the Leica M system the 35 mm lens is used by many as the standard focal length, while on the digital Leica M8, the Leica Summarit-M 35 mm f/2.5 corresponds approximately to a 50 mm standard lens. As a genuine all-rounder, it is indispensable choice whenever you are putting together a new equipment configuration since it can deal effectively with all photographic situations - from vivid shots of people at medium range all the way to dramatic landscapes.
