One of the new Summarit-M lenses from the Leica factory in Germany.

Leica is opening up the challenging world of rangefinder photography to a wider target group. High-performance Summarit-M lenses are the culmination of decades of striving to achieve perfect optical and mechanical quality by using premium materials, percision production techniques, cutting-edge mult-coatings, and individual hand adjustment. They are all produced at the Leica factory in Germany and carry the "Made in Germany" quality mark. The new Summarit-M lenses deliver beautiful, natural rendition, brilliant colors, a wealth of detail and rich contrast - even at full aperture. The mechanical system is pure Leica - the parts have no backlash and their movement is silky smooth. Summarit-M is a contemporary interpretation of classic lens construction in the renowned Leica traditional.

Summarit-M : Amazing quality plus outstanding value

The new Summarit-M lenses represent the very best that can be achieved today using traditional spherical lens design, for both analog and digital Leica M photography. All are 6-bit coded for optimum compatibility with the LEICA M8, but also demonstrate their full capabilities on all M models from the LEICA M3 onwards.

The LEICA SUMMARIT-M 35mm f2.5 gives all users of rangefinder cameras with a Leica M bayonet access to the smallest and lightest 35mm lens available, offering the outstanding image quality that is the hallmark of all Leica M lenses.

The heart of your equipment

In the Leica M system the 35mm lens is used by many as the standard focal length, while on the digital LEICA M8, the LEICA SUMMARIT-M 35mm f/2.5 corresponds approximately to a 50mm standard lens. As a genuine all rounder, it is indispensable choice whenever you are putting together a new equipment configuration since it can deal effectively with all photographic situations - from vivid shots of all people at medium range all the way to dramatic landscapes.

All Summarit-M lenses are shipped in velour pouches, with metal lens caps for the front and back. In addition high-quality solid metal sun hoods are available as accessories.
