Leica Summicron-M 28 mm f/2 Wide Angle Lens

To give the "M" system even greater versatility in difficult light situations, the popular 28mm focal length with an even faster speed has been added to the line of Leica Summicron high speed lenses. By means of a complex optical computation, the use of special types of optical glasses and the inclusion of a lens element with an aspherical surface, it has been possible to create a lens with outstanding performance that is in no way below that of the excellent performance.This lens has been updated with the "6-bit" coding, which allows the digital M camera to read this information optically and to identify which lens is being used.

Pros stunning optical quality, compact size
Cons a bit heavy for RF standards, 28o gramms
Recommended it? Yes

The Leica Summicron Asph 2/28 is considered to be the best Leica M lens along with the 2/75. According to my experience the 28mm lens is almost flawless. Good sharpness at full aperture, excellent sharpness at f 5,6, low distortion, nice off-focus rendering (bokeh), excellent flare resistance. The... Read full review »

Leica 28mm f/2 SUMMICRON-M ASPHERICAL Wide Angle Manual Focus Lens for M System - USA

The 28 mm f/2.0 SUMMICRON-M ASPH. is the high-speed addition to the 28 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-M. Its strengths become especially obvious in poor lighting, such as at dusk or in poorly lit interiors where the lens aperture has to be opened as wide as possible to take an atmospheric free-hand shot without using a flash. In order to retain the out-standing performance of the 28 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-M even at higher speed, the constructive effort for the 28 mm f/2.0 SUMMI-CRON-M ASPH. had to be increased considerably. Thanks to a sophisticated optical formula, in which special types of glass and an aspherical surface were used, the Leica designers succeeded in surpassing the excellent performance of the 28 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-M. And, although the 28 mm f/2.0 SUMMICRON-M ASPH. is one f-stop faster than the 28 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-M, the dimensions and the weight are almost identical.
