The Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 'Steel Rim' is a faithful reissue of Leica's legendary 1961 original, built around the classic non-aspherical optical design that gave that lens its distinctive character. A stainless-steel front ring plays against the black anodized body for an unmistakable look, and the rendering is pure vintage Leica — fast, atmospheric, and full of personality.

Seven elements in five groups, a focus range from 1 m, and a beautifully compact form (roughly 200 g, just 26 mm long) make this a collector's piece you'll actually want to shoot. It ships with both a clip-on rectangular hood and a screw-on E46 round hood. Reach out to our team to build the right M kit around it.

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