Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens Silver Summary
This next generation Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens in Silver has been upgraded with improvements over the previous model, whilst still delivering impeccable image quality for Rangefinder camera users. A 35mm focal length is ideal for general purpose shooting and especially for weddings, street photography, portraits, landscapes and city.
The new Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 features a far closer minimum shooting distance, which helps to capture frame-filling subjects and dynamic compositions. Leica has also included an 11-bladed aperture for improved bokeh rendition. With the wide f/1.4 maximum aperture out of focus areas are creamy and smooth, with sharp details across the frame apparent even when wide open. The aperture also helps to gather light even in extremely low light situations, which is ideal for handheld shooting.
Together with these updated features you’ll find a new integrated rotating lens hood, which is useful to reduce incidental light as well as protect the front lens element from accidental damage. This Leica M lens is also available for Leica SL, T, and TL cameras when using the Leica M Adapter L, enabling more Leica system users to enjoy this classic.

Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens Silver in More Detail
Improvements to a classic focal length
This Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens in anodised silver 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.
The optical design of the Leica Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. has also been optimised for use on digital Leica M models. It reveals the full extent of its outstanding performance particularly when mounted on a full format digital M body. The Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. also delivers excellent results on analogue M film cameras and is destined to become an indispensable component of every system outfit.

Our Verdict
With advancements in digital Leica M camera technology Leica has upgraded one of their most popular M lenses, the Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens, which is available to complement a Silver or black body. The latest generation builds on the successes of previous models, improving close-up shooting and bokeh performance. A 30cm reduction in minimum focus distance is impressive and opens up new possibilities to create even more engaging images with frame-filling subjects and smooth falloff.
The addition of an 11-bladed aperture design affects bokeh rendition, which is smoother and rounder, whilst out of focus areas are silky soft thanks to the wide f/1.4 opening. This is ideal for shooting in natural light, for low light and for separating your subject with hairline precision, from any background distractions.
Leica has also integrated the lens hood, which protects the front element and helps to reduce glare and other forms of incidental light from reducing image quality. The lens is manufactured in Wetzlar, Germany ensuring the highest possible quality glass and metal construction. Ergonomics and useability are as satisfying as you can find with any Leica lens, which will no doubt contribute to the popularity of this next generation Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 ASPH.
