NEW LEICA SUMMILUX-TL 35MM F/1.4 ASPH





Leica Summilux-TL 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH.

Leica today announced a new lens for the Leica t, the Summilux  35mm f/1.4 ASPH.  This newly developed lens is the new reference lens for APS-C format and has performance characteristics that are unequaled in all respects by comparable lenses and permit the exploitation of the full potential of modern camera systems. Thanks to internal focusing, the overall length of the lens remains unchanged when focusing.  Even though the lens is designed for the APS-C format of the Leica T, it can also be used on the Leica SL, but with reduced sensor coverage.

LEICA SUMMILUX-TL  35mm f/1.4 ASPH: Introducing a new reference lens in the APS-C system category

Leica Camera has today introduced a new addition to the Leica T Camera System portfolio – the Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH – an extremely fast prime lens with a classic focal length. Set to become the reference lens in the APS-C category, it offers exceptional imaging performance.

The Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH delivers maximum sharpness, and superb resolution and color reproduction when shooting wide open, throughout its aperture range, and at all distances from its closest focusing limit to infinity. It also produces stunning pictures with that unmistakable ‘Leica look’ and a unique and beautiful bokeh.

Considering the outstanding speed and extraordinary image performance, this 35mm lens is surprisingly compact – and, thanks to the internal focusing system, its overall length remains unchanged in use. Furthermore, the lens’ manual focusing ring enables the smoothest adjustments to be made when shooting.

As with all other Leica lenses, the Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH has been designed by Leica’s own specialists in Wetzlar, Germany, and represents a perfect union of optical and technical expertise. This combination of cutting-edge technology and the highest quality materials ensures consistently excellent results.


As indicated by the ‘TL’ in its name, the Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH is the first of two new prime lenses for the Leica T Camera System that is fully compatible with the bayonet mount of the Leica T, as well as the L-mount of the Leica SL-System. The second TL lens, the Leica APO Macro-Elmarit-TL 60mm f/2.8 ASPH, will be available from Autumn 2016.
