Leica re-releases ‘King of Bokeh’ Summilux-M 35/1.4 lens

The previously rumoured Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 V1 “Steel Rim” lens has been officially announced along side the Leica M6 reissue.

The true king of bokeh

As the world's fastest wide-angle lens, the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 sets the photographic benchmark in 1961. Today it continues to inspire with its exceptional images. Especially shots at open aperture fascinate with their individual, almost fairy-tale look, which is really difficult to achieve through digital editing.

A distinctive bokeh and vignetting at maximum aperture, got the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 its title as the "true king of bokeh". Photographing at open aperture in backlit conditions creates intended lens flares that can be used for specific creative effects. At smaller apertures it delivers very sharp and almost distortion-free pictures that easily meet all modern requirements on image quality.
