About Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH FLE Lens, Black "Leitz Wetzlar" Mono Limited Edition, #11700
FEATURED REVIEWS
Superior 35mm
I have done extensive field testing across four continents in every imaginable context with both the 35mm Summicron and the 35mm Summilux. Without a doubt, the Summilux produces far superior results over the Summicron. The real magic of the Summilux is at ƒ/1.4. The focus is incredibly forgiving at that aperture (unlike the 50mm Summilux) and you can nail shots all day long at ƒ/1.4. The results are nothing short of phenomenal.
One nice lens
Nice lens. Wide-open shooting is no problem for this lens so far. I am still holding on to my Summicron as it is quite a bit lighter. I haven't seen any noticeable difference in sharpness.
FLE (Floating Lens Element Design)
In comparison with its predecessor, the new Leica SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. now incorporates a floating element: the lenses behind the aperture blades are constructed as a floating group that changes its position relative to the front lens group during focusing to ensure that the Leica SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/35 mm ASPH. achieves equally outstanding imaging performance at closer focusing distances.
The Leica SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. is a further revised version of the popular wide-angle lens of the Leica M rangefinder system. Thanks to the latest developments in the fields of optics and precision engineering, the new 35 lens sets a whole new standard in the fast wide-angle lens portfolio. Regardless of whether it's a matter of selective focus in the close-up range, high-contrast available light applications or landscape shots with immense depth of field, the lens delivers persuasive arguments in any situation. In addition to the new FLE (floating elements) design, this lens features a full-metal, rectangular, screw-mount lens hood that contributes significantly to the even more compact dimensions of the lens.
Even wide open, the LEICA SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. reveals performance characteristics without precedent in the field of compact 35 mm lenses: outstanding imaging performance over the entire focusing range, from infinity to minimum focus, excellent contrast, even in the finest structures, superb rendition of details across the entire image field, good field flattening and, stopped down to f2 and onwards, almost complete freedom from coma effects. It is hardly possible to improve this excellent optical performance by stopping down.
