The Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. sets a new benchmark for the M-System. Apochromatic correction and four aspherical surfaces across ten elements deliver edge-to-edge sharpness with virtually no chromatic aberration, even wide open, in backlight, or along high-contrast edges. A floating element keeps that performance consistent to its remarkable 0.3 m close-focus distance, the shortest of any Leica M lens.

For you, that means a compact 35mm that draws with clarity and a gentle, well-defined bokeh in equal measure. The 300-degree focus throw and 11-blade diaphragm give you precise manual control, and 6-bit coding keeps your digital M metadata accurate. It's a reference-grade reportage and everyday lens our team is glad to put in your hands.

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

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.

Please note, all returned items must be in the condition in which they were shipped. If the items are returned in a different condition, we will not be able to accept them.

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. Below are a few points that we’d like to make in order to meet your needs for in store pick up.

The location of each item is indicated online. For convenience, you can choose to pick up your item at any of our stores.

We offer a concierge trade-in program for the gear you'd like to upgrade, cross-grade, or simply pass on to a new owner. This enables you to acquire the tools that fit your specific needs.
