APO-Summicron-M 75 f/2 ASPH.

The APO-Summicron-M 75 f/2 ASPH. is a lens for photographers who read stories in faces. With respect, with precision, with feeling. The focal length establishes a natural compositional distance – while evoking a striking intimacy between photographer and subject. It unveils the subtlest structures, delicate tonal transitions and authentic character nuances with remarkable technical finesse.

With its medium telephoto focal length, the APO-Summicron-M 75 f/2 ASPH. is perfectly suited for expressive portraits, emotive reportage and poised stills – each framed with controlled separation. Apochromatic correction ensures impeccable colour neutrality and eliminates chromatic aberrations even along harsh contrast edges and in luminous highlights. This lens creates an exceptionally smooth bokeh effect, even with a wide aperture. Ideal for separating subjects from their surroundings with sensitivity. Despite its outstanding performance, the lens retains a compact, well-balanced form. Perfectly harmonised with the Leica M-System, it’s the ideal companion for photographers who value exceptional quality while travelling light.

The optical design comprises seven lenses arranged in five groups. An aspherical surface combined with multiple lenses featuring anomalous partial dispersion delivers top correction performance. This minimises colour fringing and enhances image sharpness. A floating element ensures optimal correction at close range. Its close focus distance is 0.7 metres. Manual focusing operates consistently with exceptional precision around the entire rotation range. The lens housing is crafted from anodised aluminium, while the mount is made entirely from metal. For maximum stability with minimum weight.
