New! Leica 35mm Summilux-M f/1.4 ASPH FLE II Announced

 


Today, Leica has announced a new version of the 35mm Summilux-M f/1.4 ASPH FLE. Featuring the same excellent optical formula as the current 35mm FLE, the new lens offers a few notable updates. Perhaps the most significant, like the APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH, the revised 35mm Summilux-M features close-focusing down to 0.4 meters thanks to a newly developed patent-pending double cam unit. Also new are an eleven-blade aperture for improved bokeh when stopped down and a built-in retractable circular lens shade.



KEY FEATURES

  • Close focusing up to 0.4 meters (1.3 feet)

  • Built-in retractable lens hood

  • 11 Aperture blades (instead of 9) for improved Bokeh when stopped down

  • E46 Filter thread

Initial deliveries of the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH FLE II will start within the next week, priced at $5,395 for black and $5,595 for silver anodized. As with any major Leica launch, and especially true for a high-performing lens like this, initial supply is expected to be limited.
