The Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH is a fast, compact wide-angle that has become a favorite for reportage and everyday carry on the M. Its f/2 speed and 28mm perspective are ideal for street, documentary, and environmental work, and a close-focus limit of just 0.4m in Live View brings you nearer to your subject than most classic M lenses allow.

Optically it uses nine elements in six groups with an aspherical surface for rich, edge-to-edge rendering, and an integrated, extendable hood keeps the package small. Built to Leica's standards and made in Germany, it is a lens you can keep on the camera all day. Come try it on your M with our team.

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

We utilize various shipping carriers, with FedEx Express being our primary choice for 2-Day and Overnight shipping within the US, as well as International deliveries.

We accept returns within 14 days of delivery, subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. This fee is not for profit, but to cover the costs associated with selling an item.

We highly recommend visiting us in person to experience our fine photographic tools before deciding which tool best fits your needs. Please note that our inventory is distributed among our three stores, and what you see online may be at any of these locations.
