Comprised of ten elements arranged in five groups, three of which reside in a floating element group, the 35 APO-Cron houses four aspherical surfaces, six lenses with anomalous partial dispersion, and three with a high refractive index. The APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH measures a mere 41mm long from the mount with a 39mm front filter diameter, yet packs an extremely advanced and downright impressive optical design. And its price tag of $8,195 reflects this. Rather, like the 50 APO before it, the 35 APO-Summicron-M represents the absolute top performance available in its focal length. Just as the APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH didn't supplant the standard 50 Cron, this new 35mm doesn't replace the current Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH.
Offering uncompromising reference-class optical performance along with a new close focus functionality, the lens is surprisingly compact and very lightweight. Today, Leica has announced a new addition to the M lens lineup, the Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH.
