With their focal length of 50 mm, standard lenses are easy to use and very versatile at the same time. Because their angle of view and their perspective come closest to the viewing habits of the human eye.

Telephoto lenses compress the impression of depth, they make distant subjects seem closer and they narrow the coverage of the subject. These effects are utilized when the surroundings of the subject are to be kept out of the picture. The reduced depth of field of lenses with long focal lengths is suitable for the creative manipulation of sharpness and unsharpness.

New: the outstanding 28 mm f/2 LEICA SUMMICRON-M ASPH.
By means of an extremely complex optical computation, the use of special types of optical glasses and the inclusion of a lens element with an aspherical surface, it was possible to create a lens with outstanding performance that is in no way below that of the excellent performance of the 28 mm f/2.8 LEICA ELMARIT-M. As a matter of fact, it even surpasses it. Outstanding imaging performance across the entire field, with uniformly high resolving power and brilliance make this lens an indispensable companion, especially in difficult light situations.
