The compact high-performance telephoto lens
The new LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M 75mm f/2 ASPH. extends the range of telephoto lenses in the Leica M system with a fast high-performance model that is simultaneously extremely compact.

75mm - The universal portrait focal length
With its more natural perspective compared to a 90mm focal length, where depth is reproduced with less compression, it is ideally suited for many applications including reportage and portraits - particularly in smaller rooms. Its small dimensions result in not only outstanding handling but also a Leica M viewfinder image that is almost completely free of shadowing, thus allowing totally undisturbed viewing of the subject. Whether you are using full stop to deliberately "isolate" critical parts of the subject or working in high-contrast available light - both very common in applications with these focal lengths - or stopping down for sharp reproduction of more extensive areas of the subject, the LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M 75mm f/2 ASPH. is convincing in any situation:

By utilizing every means available in lens technology today - an aspherical surface, glass with anomalous partial dispersion and a high refractive index, a floating element including a brand new, high-precision adjusting mechanism, state of the art coating techniques and sophisticated measures to reduce internal reflection - we have created a lens that not only extends the Summicron-M range but also sets new standards in this focal length class. In the group of four fast M telephoto lenses with focal lengths of 75 and 90mm, the new LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-M 75mm f/2 ASPH. represents an ideal combination of several properties: It combines optimum imaging quality with high speed and compact dimensions. In conjunction with its moderated telephoto perspective, this makes it ideal for almost any application, and along with a wide-angle lens it forms a complete and versatile but still very compact equipment set.
