Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH (v5)
Iconic LensLensLeica M mountMade in Germany1997–20161187911880
The lens that carried the 35 Summicron line into the modern optical era.
The 1997 ASPH brought aspherical surfaces to the mainstream 35 Summicron, trading the vintage glow of earlier versions for wide-open bite and cross-frame consistency. For nearly two decades it was the default answer to "which 35 should I get" — plentiful used, mechanically superb, and at home on film and digital alike. Codes: 11879 black, 11880 silver.
