The new edition of this famous classic lens, with the same optical design behind that distinctive image character. A distinctive bokeh and vignetting at maximum aperture, got the Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 its title as the “true king of bokeh”. Photographing at open aperture in backlit conditions creates intended lens flares that can be used for specific creative effects. At smaller apertures it delivers very sharp and almost distortion-free pictures that easily meet all modern requirements on image quality.
An alternative to the optical viewfinder of the camera, the Leica Visoflex 2 is an auxiliary electronic viewfinder designed for select Leica cameras. Perfect for working with ultra-wide-angle, telephoto, and macro lenses, which are difficult to use with the rangefinder design, this EVF features a high-resolution 3.7MP OLED panel and 100% frame coverage, along with an adjustable diopter for comfortable viewing. It’s built from aluminum for durability and also has an upward tilting design with 0, 45, and 90 positioning steps to suit working from low angles.

Compact high performance with three focal lengths: Two spheres guarantee this lens delivers perfect imaging performance. The design of the internal focusing considerably improves the quality of close-ups by applying the floating element-principle. Professional photographers will find maximum flexibility thanks to three different focal lengths.
The Thambar-M 90mm f/2.2 is the resurrection of a unique classic Leitz lens: a soft focus lens creating a dreamily romantic effect particularly in the portrait range.
Following the re-issue of the Summaron-M 28 f/5.6, Leica are now further expanding their line of classic lenses with the Thambar-M 90 f/2.2. Once again, the exterior design has been carefully modified, while the optical calculations remain unchanged.
When the Thambar was originally released in 1935, Leica lenses were already renowned for their exceptionally sharp rendition. So it was all the more surprising when Leitz introduced a soft focus lens which – despite being named after the Greek term “”thambo””, meaning “”blurred”” – gave rise to images whose romantic aesthetics are not only unmatched by any other lens to this day, but also impossible to replicate in digital post-processing.
This makes the new Thambar-M an exciting counterpoint to Leica’s other 90mm focal length lenses and allows the modern-day photographer to create a special effect.
The new Leica Super-Elmar-M 21 mm f/3.4 ASPH. is characterized by superb imaging performance and an amazingly compact construction. Even at maximum aperture, the lens delivers outstanding rendition of details and optimum contrast up to its closest focusing distance. This lens should be part of every photographer’s standard equipment.
Experience the breadth: The retrofocus-like architecture features eight lens elements, one of which boasts two aspherical surfaces to ensure outstanding image quality, even at open aperture. Compact in size, it fits in any bag and is perfect as a spare lens for architecture and landscape photography.
The new Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. enables portraits with a breathtakingly shallow depth of field – allowing for the subject to be emphasised in perfect focus whilst rendering the background in an appealing blur.
The lens is distinguished by an elaborate construction comprised of 8 lens elements, two of which are aspherical in design and crafted out of specialised glass types, arranged in 6 groups. A floating lens element – an engineering feat when implemented in such compact lenses -ensures that the superior optical performance of the lens is maintained across the full focus range.
The optical design of the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. is at the cutting edge of lens technology, delivering outstanding levels of optical performance even at an fully open aperture; in addition, its short telephoto focal length not only facilitates perfect portraits, but also enables Available Light photography, while its minimum focus distance makes it possible to bring out intricate details for unique compositions.
The combination of the extremely shallow depth of field (which facilitates the three-dimensional isolation of the subject from the background) and a focal length that still allows the photographer to maintain a certain distance, clearly sets the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. apart from classic portrait lenses.
In addition to the use of specialised glasses and high-quality materials, the unique performance of the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. also benefits from an exceedingly high-precision lens construction. This not only guarantees outstanding optical performance, but also makes the lens an exceptionally durable and long-lasting tool. The standout rendition is a direct result of its meticulous craftsmanship – as is the stunningly beautiful bokeh in the out-of-focus areas.
The combination of the extremely shallow depth of field, showcasing the three-dimensional isolation of the subject from the background, along with a longer telephoto focal length, clearly sets the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. apart from classic portrait lenses.
With extremely shallow depth of field at its widest aperture, the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. enables meticulously controlled compositions based on high-precision focusing – which, on the Leica M, is further supported by the optional Visoflex viewfinder.
The Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. also represents an appealing addition to Leica’s SL-System. Thanks to the M-Adapter L, the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. is also compatible with the Leica SL and SL2.
The standard lens for natural perspectives: This fast lens It has a natural image angle that corresponds to a human eye view and is ideal for available-light situations, selective-focus shots. It delivers high-contrast images with high-resolution detail – even at its widest aperture, or down to its minimum focusing distance.
