Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH Lens Black Anodised In more detail
Improved minimum focus distance
The improved minimum focusing distance of 40 centimetres on this wide-angle lens is a noteworthy feature for photographers, and it's made possible by a unique dual-curve mechanism developed by Leica's skilled engineers. This mechanism enhances the rotational range of the distance ring compared to the previous lens model, allowing you to get even closer to your subjects while maintaining focus.
One key advantage of this lens is its compact prime design with a focus ring that enables exceptionally quiet, smooth, and easy adjustments across the entire focusing range. This makes it a great choice for capturing images without disturbing your subjects, especially in situations where silence is important.
Focusing with this lens is primarily managed through the M camera's rangefinder for distances up to 70cm. Beyond that range, from 70 to 40 centimetres, you have the flexibility to use alternative methods such as the live view display, the Visoflex 2 accessory, or the Leica FOTOS app.
This adaptability in focusing methods adds to the lens's versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of photographic scenarios, particularly when you need to focus on subjects at close distances.
Optimised design
The Leica Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. combines refined technology, premium materials and precise craftsmanship. Its layout of nine lenses in six groups ensures images that are rich in contrast and detail, embodying the world-renowned quality of Leica lenses. The same high standard is evident in the integrated round hood, which can be effortlessly adjusted with a single twist, enhancing both convenience and the range of photographic possibilities.
