Leica Camera debuts three lenses for the Leica M-System
Leica Camera AG introduced three lenses for the Leica M-System: the silver anodized APO-Summicron-M 75 f/2 ASPH., the limited-edition Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. and APO-Summicron-M 90 f/2 ASPH. in an olive green “Safari” finish. The technical specifications of the three new lenses are identical to those of their serially produced counterparts. All three lenses are available from the end of February.
The APO-Summicron-M 75 f/2 ASPH. is now available in a silver anodized finish. In contrast to the black-paint variant, the feet markings on the distance scale as well as the focal length engravings are inlaid in red, while all other engravings feature black inlays.
In addition, Leica is producing a limited run of the special-edition Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. and APO-Summicron-M 90 f/2 ASPH. with a special, olive green paint finish. Both “Safari”-edition lenses feature red-inlaid feet markings on the distance scale and red focal length markings, while all other engravings are inlaid in white – creating a pleasing juxtaposition with the olive green lens body. Aside from the Leica Summicron-M 50 f/2 released in 2019, the new Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. and APO-Summicron-M 90 f/2 ASPH. are the only M lenses to match the olive green finish of the Leica M10-P Edition “Safari”. The Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. Edition “Safari” is produced in a limited run of 500 units; the APO-Summicron-M 90 f/2 ASPH. Edition “Safari” is limited to 250 units.
