Leica Summaron 35mm f/3.5 (LTM) - Leica L/L39/LTM Mount

The Summaron 35mm f/3.5 in L39 (LTM) mount is a classic wide-angle lens, notably smaller than its Summicron counterparts. It is prized for its solid brass construction and its ability to render images with a distinct 1950s aesthetic, featuring moderate contrast and fine detail. Its compact 'pancake' style makes it an excellent choice for keeping a Leica III series or modern digital body as portable as possible. Due to its age, internal haze is the most common fault found in these lenses; SDS performs a thorough light test to check for optical clarity. The aperture ring should click decisively, and the focus helical must be checked for dried grease which can cause stiff operation. We also ensure the LTM threading is clean and that the lens couples accurately with rangefinder mechanisms.
