Brand Leica System Leica M

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.

Fast, Wide, and Compact

The Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH combines a genuinely useful wide-angle perspective with an f/2 maximum aperture in a body small and light enough to live on your M. It is a natural focal length for reportage and street photography, giving context without distortion.

Close Focus for the M

With a close-focus limit of 0.4m in Live View — well beyond the 0.7m rangefinder minimum — this Summicron lets you work tighter and more intimately than most classic M optics, opening up detail shots and environmental portraits.

Optics That Perform Wide Open

Nine lenses in six groups, including one aspherical surface, deliver rich contrast and detail from center to edge, and the design is engineered to get the most from both current and future high-resolution sensors. A 10-blade diaphragm renders smooth out-of-focus areas.

Made in Germany

An integrated, extendable lens hood adjusts with a simple twist and keeps the lens compact, while the combined meter/feet distance scale and 6-bit-encoded M bayonet reflect Leica's meticulous, hand-built construction.
