| The Leica Summarit-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH CS
Lens is a classical wide angle lens with high optical
performance. Two aspherical lenses together with special
highly refractive glass with atypical partial dispersion,
yields excellent sharpness and contrast throughout the
image field. This reference-class lens displays consistently
high image performance utilizing an inner focusing system
with a floating element.
The Summarit-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH CS is equipped with
an integrated central focal-plane shutter (also known
as a leaf shutter). Photographers can activate the shutter
via the camera's main switch. It enables flash units
to be used at a shutter speed of 1/500 second, and it
performs effectively with studio flash units. The shutter
also has an electronically-controlled drive guaranteeing
reliable, fast exposure times and low energy consumption.
This lens displays maximum performance across the entire
image field at all apertures. With a broad effective
range of focus (minimum distance of 21.65' (55cm), it
is possible to produce unusual and attractive compositions.
With Leica's high-degree of lens precision there is
almost no discernable vignetting, distortion and chromatic
aberrations. Thus, images don't require a large amount
of post-production corrections.
The Summarit-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH CS is equipped with
a Leica-designed microprocessor for precise autofocus
and iris diaphragm control with silent gearing and it
has a focus ring with enough drag to let the user to
override the autofocus at any time.
• Two aspherical lenses together with special
highly refractive glass with anomalous partial dispersion
guarantee excellent sharpness and high contrasts even
at the extreme edges of the image.
• S-bayonet mount ensures rapid and precise digital
exchange of data and commands between the camera and
lens.
• Lens has its own Leica-designed microprocessor
for precise autofocus and iris diaphragm control.
• Generous focus ring with just the right amount
of drag, letting the photographer override the autofocus
at any time.
• The lens is produced to extremely narrow tolerances,
with each lens centered by hand, guaranteeing superior
quality and optical performance.
• The integrated leaf shutter allows flash units
to be used at the fastest shutter speed of 1/500 second,
giving photographers more options for suppressing unwanted
ambient light. The Summarit-S 35 mm F/2.5 ASPH CS performs
effectively with studio flash units. |
