Brand Leica System Leica M

The Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH is a fast, compact wide-angle that punches far above its size, and this Safari edition adds Leica's distinctive olive-green livery. Its recalculated optical design nearly eliminates the astigmatic differences caused by sensor cover glass, delivering excellent corner-to-corner quality on modern M cameras.

Rich contrast at maximum aperture, smooth bokeh and a screw-in all-metal hood make it a superb everyday reportage and street lens. If you love the 28mm perspective and want something that stands out, our team can pair the Safari version with your M body.

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

The f/2 speed makes this 28mm effective in difficult light and a natural fit for reportage and street work, while the compact dimensions keep your M kit discreet and easy to carry all day.

Recalculated for Modern Sensors

Leica recalculated the optical design to almost completely eliminate the astigmatic differences caused by the sensor cover glass, so you get excellent image quality from corner to corner, with rich contrast and finely differentiated detail even at maximum aperture.

Safari Livery

This edition wears Leica's iconic Safari finish, a distinctive olive-green treatment. It ships with a full-metal, screw-in lens hood that guards against stray light and flare, plus a screw-in protector ring for the filter thread when the hood is not fitted.
