The black Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens is a high-performance, wide-angle prime specifically engineered for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. It excels in low-light environments and is distinguished by its remarkable sharpness and clarity across all aperture settings and focusing distances. The lens incorporates one aspherical element and a floating element system, along with seven elements crafted from anomalous partial dispersion glass, which collectively ensure the production of color-accurate, sharp images with minimal distortion and aberrations. Its manual focus design is enhanced by a focusing tab, allowing for precise control, while the fast f/1.4 aperture facilitates selective focus, enabling the isolation of particular subjects within the composition. With its versatile wide-angle focal length and advanced optical design, the Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH. completes the comprehensive range of fast-aperture primes aimed at delivering exceptional imaging performance.
- Wide-angle prime is well-suited to everyday shooting as well as landscape, reportage, and architectural applications.
- Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also offers greater control over shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
- One aspherical element helps to control spherical aberrations and distortions at all aperture and focus positions for improved sharpness, even illumination, and reduced vignetting.
- Seven anomalous partial dispersion elements and three cemented elements suppress color fringing and chromatic aberrations and contribute to natural color rendering and high contrast imagery.
- Floating elements system maintains consistent image quality throughout the focusing range.
- Manual focus design provides a minimum focusing distance of 2.3' with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:21.9.
