The Light Lens Lab 35mm f/2 Apochromatic is the first lens in Light Lens Lab's High Performance Series and the maker's first apochromatic design. It is a Leica M-mount 35mm built around a newly developed floating optical system of 11 elements in 6 groups with four aspherical elements. Ultra-low-dispersion and anomalous partial-dispersion glass, paired with a high-transmission multilayer coating, hold chromatic aberration and purple fringing in check under backlit and high-contrast light, so the lens stays sharp with good distortion control and edge-to-edge performance wide open at f/2.

This copy is finished in black paint over aerospace-grade aluminum, with close-focus knurling on the barrel. A preset diaphragm with half-increment lock settings and a precision-machined focusing mechanism running on miniature bearings give it smooth, repeatable handling down to a 0.3 m close focus. If you shoot street, environmental portraits, or still life on your M, our team can help you match it to your body and workflow.

Buy from an authorized Light Lens Lab 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. Each return is evaluated individually, and we strive to minimize this fee. In many instances, we waive it entirely if the refund credit can be applied towards another item in the store.

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.

If your chosen item is not available at your preferred store, we can transfer it there after purchase.

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. The easiest way to trade is to bring your gear into one of our stores and meet with us in person. However, we also accommodate those who can't visit our stores. Our online process is both personal and simple.

To begin, fill out the form on our Trade // Sell page with the details of the fine photographic equipment or watches you'd like to trade in.

If the estimate is satisfactory to you, we can provide a shipping label for you to ship your gear to one of our stores for a final inspection and store credit. Finally, we apply that credit towards your new gear!
