Brand Leica System Leica M

The Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH is the definitive fast 35mm for the M system, and this Safari edition wraps it in Leica's iconic olive-green finish. The current design brings a visibly improved bokeh, eleven aperture blades and an extended 0.4m close-focus distance, giving you far more creative reach than the classic reportage 35mm alone.

Nine elements in five groups with an aspherical element and a floating group keep performance high even up close, while rangefinder focusing to 0.7m and Live View or Visoflex focusing beyond it cover every distance. Handle the Safari version at Camera West and let our team match it to your M.

Buy from an authorized Leica dealer like Camera West to ensure a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and expert support.

The Classic 35mm, Reimagined

The 35mm focal length remains the most versatile reportage view, and this current Summilux improves on a legend: bokeh is visibly smoother, the diaphragm now uses eleven blades for rounder out-of-focus highlights, and close focus extends to 0.4m without sacrificing accuracy.

Precise Focusing Across the Range

A Leica-developed double-cam gear unit nearly doubles the focus-ring rotation to 176 degrees for fine control. You focus with the rangefinder down to 0.7m, then use Live View, the Visoflex viewfinder or the Leica FOTOS app to work the extended 0.7-0.4m close range.

Optics That Hold Up Wide Open

Nine elements in five groups, including one aspherical element, elements of anomalous partial dispersion and a floating group, keep image quality at the highest level even at short distances and at the fast f/1.4 aperture.

Safari Livery

This edition wears Leica's distinctive Safari olive-green finish over the same compact body as the standard lens, with an integrated, extendable round lens hood and E46 filter thread. It is made in Germany on the Leica M bayonet with 6-bit encoding.
