Leica Camera AG revealed that it is expanding its range of Leica S-System lenses with its introduction of the Leica Summarit-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH.
The newest Leica lens follows the LEICA SUMMARIT-S 70 mm f/2.5 ASPH.and the LEICA APO ELMAR-S 180mm f/2.5 lenses, which have been available since the camera’s launch. The Summarit-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH is Leica’s first fast wide-angel lens available for the Leica S-System.
Leica fanatics can get the fast wide-angle lens from authorized Leica S2 dealers this May.
According to Leica ‘The focal length of the LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. delivers an angle of view equivalent to a 28mm lens for 35 mm photography (crop factor 0.8). With a maximum aperture of 1:2.5, it offers a significantly higher speed than other lenses available in the medium format segment, and provides superior imaging quality at all apertures from its closest focus setting to infinity.’
The LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. fulfill the needs of landscape and architectural photographers but it can also be ideal for studio use.
Leica is said to have the highest imaging quality. Leica S lenses are built from specially formulated glass. Extremely narrow tolerances in the manufacturing process of all S-System lenses guarantee the highest performance, while vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberration are reduced to a minimum.
In a press statement Leica said ‘The LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH.’s sophisticated construction with eleven elements in nine groups (incorporating two aspherical lens surfaces and five special glasses with anomalous partial dispersion) and rear group focusing ensure consistently high imaging quality from infinity to a minimum focusing distance of 55 centimetres. The lens demonstrates outstanding performance at maximum aperture, outstanding contrast in even the finest structures and excellent reproduction of details across the entire image field.’
