Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens Black Summary
Leica has updated the immensely popular, slightly wide standard focal width Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens in Black anodised metal finish. This focal length is ideal for a huge variety of subjects and performs flawlessly on Rangefinder cameras, where it offers a wide maximum aperture and newly improved features. You can also enjoy this M lens with Leica SL, T, and TL cameras by using the Leica M Adapter L.
Upgrades include a closer minimum focus distance as low as 40cm, which is made possible by a patent-pending double cam unit developed by Leica engineers. As a result, the rotation angle of the focus ring can be almost doubled to 176° in comparison to the previous model – with the same compact lens size.
Another enhancement is the 11-bladed aperture design, which renders improved rounded bokeh balls. The lens also features an integrated rotating lens hood, which helps not only reduce incidental light but also acts as a later of protection against accidental damage. Lastly, this M mount lens is designed and manufactured to the highest standards in Germany, ensuring robust build and longevity when maintained.
Key Features
- Next generation lens with several performance enhancements
- Close minimum focusing distance of just 0.4m (0.7m in the previous lens)
- Improved bokeh with a new 11-bladed aperture design
- Integrated rotating lens hood to reduce incidental light and accidental damage
- Wide maximum aperture for subject separation and depth of field
- High quality Made in Germany characteristics
- Also available in silver Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH.
Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens Black in More Detail
Versatile focal length
This Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens is the next generation derived from a classic 35mm Summilux Spherical version of the same model, which first appeared back in 1960. Some of the most popular uses for this focal length are street photography, portrait and reportage. However this versatile focal width is not limited and can be use for weddings, travel, landscapes as well as city architectural shots.
High performance at any aperture
Even when shooting wide open, the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens reveals outstanding performance over the entire focusing range, from infinity to minimum focus. It also demonstrates excellent contrast, even in the finest structures, with superb levels of detail across the entire frame. When stopped down to f/2 and onwards, the lens is almost entirely free from coma effects and optical performance is maintained from this aperture on.

Our Verdict
Leica is well known for creating extremely desirable lenses, which deliver an elusive image quality when paired with their equally beautiful camera bodies. It’s a combination of image quality, build quality and enjoyable user experience which draws users to their equipment. This Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens Black will attract similar attention thanks to a series of updates to the latest generation of a highly popular lens.
The focal length is arguably the perfect prime and equally popular as the Summilux M 50mm F/1.4 ASPH Lens, due to its wide maximum aperture and subject versatility. This updated model features an 11-bladed aperture design, which will enhance bokeh rendition and create smooth out of focus areas. You can experiment with depth of field and subject separation as well as achieve deep focus using a narrower aperture when shooting city or landscape images.
Leica also engineered a double cam unit, which helps the lens to close focus to 0.4m, where the previous lens was 0.7m. This is quite an achievement and opens new possibilities for more extreme compositions, close-ups and extended creativity. With these characteristics we’re certain the new generation Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens will garner similar high praise as its predecessor and help creators capture beautiful results than ever.
