There are no reported shortages of 35mm f/2 lenses, according to the latest Interpol reports, so when a new 35mm f/2 lens comes to market, it’s usually greeted with a polite burst of applause before the crowds move along. A box of donuts says there’s going to be a standing ovation among a certain breed of shooters when word of Leica’s new APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. hits the streets.
Way more than a cosmetic makeover, Leica’s latest incarnation of its marquee lens includes several important improvements over previous 35mm Summicron-Ms, starting with its APO designation, which translates into further suppression of chromatic and spherical aberrations, compared to earlier versions of the 35mm Summicron-M. As an apochromat, this lens features an array of specialized elements, including six anomalous partial dispersion glass elements and a trio of aspherical elements that control color fringing, distortion, and other aberrations for immaculate sharpness and clarity.
