This is the celebrated LEICA SUMMICRON-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens, a standard wide-angle optic known globally for its exceptional sharpness, natural perspective, and legendary M-Mount performance. This is the first Aspherical version (sometimes referred to as V4), prized for its compact size, superb rendering, and inclusion of an ASPH element to virtually eliminate spherical aberrations.

The 35mm focal length is a favorite among street and documentary photographers, offering a slightly wider field of view than the human eye. This lens features the classic built-in focus tab for fast, intuitive zone focusing and is made in Germany.
