Details: Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux M Aspherical Manual Focus Lens. Comes with front and rear lens caps, soft leather zipper case, and a lens hood. In the original box with all original manuals. Exterior of box identifies it as Manufacturer # 11874. This ultra high-speed wide-angle lens is characterized by exceptionally brilliant contrast, superb resolution and detail rendition, as well as being virtually coma-free. The complex optical design with an aspherical lens surface produces an image quality that is unsurpassed in compact 35mm lenses, even at full aperture. This lens has been updated with the “6-bit” coding, which allows the digital M camera to read this information optically and to identify which lens is being used. The camera can then (optionally) apply a “final stage” software based vignetting correction (for RAW images the lens used is simply recorded, no change is made). An all-round versatile lens with a high speed that provides ample reserves for any situation. Includes “6-bit code” which allows the digital M8 camera to identify which lens is being used, and also to store this information in image metadata.
