Maybe a small, exquisite and beautiful 35mm lens can change your view of photography, and a Leica summicron 35mm f2 asph can open the door to your street photography.
With a focal length of 35mm and an aperture of f2, Leica has always been a highly praised lens. From the first generation Leica Summicron 35mm to the fourth generation, the optical quality is very high, far surpassing the 35mm lenses of other brands of the same era. To the current ASPH version, Summicron 35 has almost no shortcomings.
The most common version of the first generation Summicron 35 f2 ASPH is the black aluminum version, but there are also many silver brass versions. A small number of black lacquered brass versions are available. The second generation summicron 35 f2 ASPH is all aluminum version.
Leica’s summicron 35mm lens paired with the M body is the most beautiful combination. Their proportions are very harmonious, and it is also my favorite lens to carry. I don’t like to install a lens hood on it, because it will block part of the viewfinder and destroy the golden ratio of the lens to the body.
