Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH. Lens (Leica M) (11884) (USED)

High-Performance Telephoto Precision for Rangefinder Photography

The Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH. is a legendary short-telephoto prime lens engineered for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. Combining an advanced apochromatic design with an aspherical element, this lens represents the pinnacle of optical engineering, delivering razor-sharp performance even at its maximum f/2 aperture. It is the definitive choice for portrait, editorial, and fine-art photographers who demand absolute fidelity, high contrast, and flawless detail resolution across the entire image frame.

Apochromatic Design and Aspherical Element for Uncompromised Clarity

As an APO-designated lens, its optical configuration virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring exceptional color accuracy and edge-to-edge sharpness. The inclusion of one aspherical element counteracts spherical aberrations, distortion, and field curvature. Even when shooting wide open at f/2, this lens resolves the finest textures and subtle micro-contrasts, making it an indispensable tool for critical high-resolution digital and film capture.

Fast f/2 Aperture and Exceptional Low-Light Performance

The bright f/2 maximum aperture provides outstanding control over depth of field, allowing photographers to isolate subjects effortlessly with a shallow depth of field. Combined with a 11-blade diaphragm, the lens produces an incredibly smooth, painterly bokeh signature with naturally rounded out-of-focus highlights. The fast aperture also excels in low-light environments, permitting faster shutter speeds without sacrificing image quality.

Legendary Craftsmanship and Compact Form Factor

Despite its advanced optical formula, the APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH. maintains a remarkably compact and lightweight profile for a high-performance 90mm telephoto lens. Built to Leica's exacting standards in Germany, it features an all-metal barrel and a built-in telescoping lens hood that extends to block stray light. The manual focus mechanism is perfectly dampened for precise control, working seamlessly with the rangefinder's optical mechanism down to a minimum focusing distance of 3.3 feet (1 meter).
