It's the latest non-ASPH version of the 35mm Summicron (the ASPH version came out in 1997).

The name Summicron was first used for the collapsible 50mm Summicron in 1953 (and then in 1958 for the 35mm Summicron Version I). The Summi(cron) is a development from the orignal Summar (the 50mm f2.0 lens made in 1933). The first batch of lenses were named Summikron (Crown = Krone in Deutsch). The name (Summi) cron was used because the lens used Crown glass for the first time, which Leitz bought from Chance Brothers in England. for colour), but that's actually not the story. Some say the name "cron" came from "chroma" (ie. There are many guesses how this name came about, a popular one being that the "summi" came from " summit" (summit means the highest point of a hill or mountain the highest attainable level of achievement). Summicron refers to the maximum lens aperture - here f/2.0.

#LEICA 50MM SUMMICRON SERIES#
A new crown jewel in the series of APO lenses that Leica have been making (135 APO, 90 APO, 75mm APO and 50mm APO).
Those came in 2021 with the introduction of the APO-version, the ultimate 35mm Summicron.
Don't except to see major improvements in the optics between the 1997-2016 version vs the 2016-version). In 2016, the rather perfect ASPH-version V (1997-2016) was updated to a new version VI with square metal hood and a few updates to the optics. With the Leica M9 (2009), Leica M240 (2012) and Leica M10 (2017), the 35mm focal length was back the standard lens. In a simple way, the question "Which lens should I get as my first Leica lens?" is answered by choosing a 50mm or 35mm.įor a period the 28mm took its place on the Leica M8 (2007) and Leica M8.2 (2008) cameras to make up for the 1.3X crop factor those first digital rangefinders' sensor had. The Leica was born with a 50mm lens in 1925, which is the second-most sold Leica focal length. The 35mm lens is the most sold Leica focal length since the first 35mm Elmar f/3.5 was introduced in 1930. Leica 35mm Summicron-M ASPH f/2.0 VI (2016)īy: Thorsten Overgaard.
