The Leica Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. is a fast and powerful lens that unlocks new photographic horizons with its wide-angle perspective and impressive close-focus limit of 40 centimetres. Its state-of-the-art technical specifications are crafted to maximise the capabilities of both current and future camera sensors. Nine lenses arranged in six groups ensure images with rich contrast and detail. Embodying the signature compactness, lightness and ergonomic design typical of M lenses, the Leica Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. also features an integrated lens hood that can be effortlessly adjusted with a simple twist of the hand.

Improved minimum focusing distance

With a minimum focusing distance of 40 centimeters, the wide-angle lens unlocks fascinating photographic opportunities. This capability stems from a unique dual-curve mechanism crafted by Leica's expert engineers. It notably expands the rotational range of the distance ring compared to the previous model, letting you get even closer to your subjects. The compact prime lens boasts a focus ring that allows for exceptionally quiet, smooth, and easy adjustments across the entire range. Focusing is still managed through the M camera's rangefinder for up to 70 centimeters. For distances ranging from 70 to 40 centimeters, you can rely on the live view display, Visoflex 2, or the Leica FOTOS app.

Optimised design

Compact, elegant and comfortable – the Leica Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. combines refined technology, premium materials and precise craftsmanship. Its configuration of nine lenses in six groups ensures shots that are rich in contrast and detail, embodying the world-renowned quality of Leica lenses – “Made in Germany”. The same high standard is evident in the lens's integrated round hood, which can be effortlessly adjusted with a single twist, enhancing both convenience and the range of photographic possibilities.
