Leica Summaron 35mm f/2.8 (LTM) - Leica L/L39/LTM Mount

This screw-mount version of the Summaron 35mm f/2.8 is a compact wide-angle lens known for high resolution and low distortion. It features a six-element optical design that provides excellent contrast and fine detail rendition, even at wider apertures. It is a preferred choice for film photographers using Leica III-series bodies or modern mirrorless cameras via LTM adapters. When inspecting used examples, the primary concern is internal haze or 'fogging' which commonly affects these older optics. SDS checks the glass for cleaning marks on the soft internal elements and ensures the focus helical is smooth and free from dried grease. The aperture blades should be free of oil to prevent sluggish movement.
