Leica Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 ASPH. Safari

Even more versatility—the fast classic lens with an extended close range, improved bokeh and integrated lens hood.

The Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. pairs moderate wide-angle characteristics with natural dimension, which make this focal length very versatile. Whether it is a matter of selective focus in the close-up range, high-contrast available-light applications or landscape shots with immense depth of field, this lens performs perfect in any situation.

Versatility is our benchmark

Life can be full of surprises. To capture it authentically, there's the Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 ASPH. With its classic reportage focal length, and subtle wide-angle quality that connects subject with environment, and natural-looking dimensions, this lens follows you on your creative journey masters the challenges that make life varied and exciting—from distinct selective sharpness at close range, to detailed landscape shots or high-contrast photos even in difficult lighting conditions.

For even faster and more flexible handling, the lens hood is built into the lens and can be mounted and dismounted at any time. This compact M-lens is a real all–rounder—easy to handle, hard to resist.

176° between 40 cm and infinity

The Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 ASPH. is not only easy to use, it gets up-close—up to 40 cm, without making any compromises on performance or setting accuracy. This is made possible by Leica's specially developed double cam gear unit, which has almost doubled the rotation angle of the distance ring as compared with the previous model, to 176°.

The high angle of rotation enables confident and precise control focusing over the entire adjustment focusing range. For distances down to 70 cm, focus is determined controlled as usual via the rangefinder for all digital and analog M-cameras. Then, after subtle resistance in the dial, the extended close-up range between 70 and 40 cm can be precisely focused via live view on the screen, the Visoflex clip-on viewfinder, or the Leica FOTOS App.

More possibilities with the same compact design

In addition to the extended minimum focusing distance and integrated lens hood, the new Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 ASPH. offers a visibly improved bokeh compared to the previous model, with eleven aperture blades shutter curtains instead of the usual nine. Engineers have implemented all these new features without compromising on lens size. For more possibilities with the same compact design.
