Review Summary

Outstanding short tele lens for the Leica M cameras, very fast for low light work, beware when photographing at portrait distances at f. 1.4 this lens only deliver about 1 inch of sharpness, careful focusing is worth the effort in beautiful portraits. mechanically this is a beautiful lens, well build and tough, disadvantage is naturally the weight, and also the focus is a bit heavy, but on such a long lens you also don't want the focus to change too easy. Personally I travel with this, but many may chose the lighter 75mm for travel. All in all, this is a highly recommended lens.

Extremely fast for a 75 mm lens, its f/1.4 speed makes this lens ideally suited for available light photography, particularly in portraiture and photojournalism. It is also an excellent lens for large contrasts in brightness that you might encounter in concerts, theaters or in a circus. Unique optical glasses and an optimized optical computation give this high-speed lens unexcelled performance characteristics. Among other features, experts especially value its great freedom from reflections and the delicate gradation of its tonal rendition. Built-in sliding lens hood.
