Today, Leica has released a new special variant of the current Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH lens. Limited to just 450 pieces worldwide and optically identical to the standard version, the new Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH Limited Edition Matte Black Paint Finish will retail for $4,495. While functionally the same as its black anodized sibling, the limited edition version sports a unique highly durable and stealthy matte black paint finish, muted monochromatic green-infilled engravings, and handy built-in retractable lens shade. A black alignment dot, rather than the typical red, rounds out the low-key aesthetic.
The Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH Limited Edition Matte Black Paint Finish should look the business on a wide range of Leica bodies, from a blacked-out M10 Monochrom or SL2-S to a M10 Reporter with matching olive green. The built-in hood is a great addition, adding to the functional nature of the lens. While likely to be a collectible due to its limited quantities and unique styling, this new lens is tough and meant to be pressed into service as a daily workhorse.
Leica is excited to introduce a limited-edition variation of the classic Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH. lens, with a finish that is singularly robust and highly scratch-resistant—perfect for street photographers and adventure seekers alike.
The Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. in the matte black paint finish is exclusively available in limited quantities at Leica Stores and Boutiques across North America.
