28mm F5.6 Summaron-M
The Summaron-M is modelled on a screw mount lens produced at the Leitz factory in Wetzlar from 1955 to 1963.
Its unmistakable signature is almost impossible to reproduce by digital means and makes the lens a true classic
that is now reborn in a revised edition, with exactly the same optical properties.
The fact that this is no simple reconstruction is obvious at first sight, the design of the Summaron-M has been
refined down to the essentials, without losing any of the character of its legendary ancestor.
Key Features
Through its combination of extreme depth of field, natural contrast, excellent rendition of details and visible vignetting,
the lens gives images a unique character.
Pictures made with the Summaron-M stand out from all others with a look reminiscent of analogue photography.
The Summaron-M is the smallest M-System lens.
With an overall length of less than 2 cm it is incredibly discreet, making it perfect for street photography.
The combination of a clearly laid out depth of field scale and long focus throw allows particularly precise pre-focusing.
In addition, the enormous depth of field makes it ideal for taking advantage of hyperfocal focusing and shooting from
the hip at a speed no autofocus system can match.
