I purchased and received this lens, several months ago from Adorama. Initially, I used it on my Leica M8.2. It's now used exclusively as a true wide, 24mm lens, on my Leica M9 (also, purchased from Adorama).

This Is My Widest Leica M Lens
By BRJR
I purchased and received this lens, several months ago from Adorama. Initially, I used it on my Leica M8.2. It's now used exclusively as a true wide, 24mm lens, on my Leica M9 (also, purchased from Adorama).
The Leica 24mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M is very high-speed and compact lens which gives photo- journalists a new tool for their work. The lens is ideal for available light photography. Like the 21mm f/1.4, it consists of ten lenses in eight groups. Until the advent of state-of-the-art blank-press methods for aspherical lenses, it was not possible to create these new Summilux-M lenses.
Hand assembled in Solms Germany, this meticulous craftsmanship also ensures long term reliability even in challenging conditions. The correction of color imperfections requires great deal of effort and to that end this 24mm lens incorporates five separate lenses with anomalous partial dispersion.
As a result, vignetting and distortion, the parameters traditionally difficult to control in fast wide-angle lenses, are corrected so well that they are hardly noticeable in practice. Even at an f-stop of 2.8, in effect, only natural vignetting is present.
