APO-Summicron-M 90 f/2 ASPH.

The APO-Summicron-M 90 f/2 ASPH. is crafted for moments when distance feels close. It conveys facial expressions, gestures and moods with poignant intensity. Clear, calm, concentrated. Its extended focal length compresses space subtly, imparting a serenity to subjects that invites deep reflection.

The 90 mm focal length lets you work in the background in a way that is discreet, observant and respectful. With a wide aperture, the lens delivers striking separation with a smooth, uniform bokeh effect and exceptional image sharpness. Thanks to apochromatic correction, the lens preserves tone fidelity even in challenging lighting conditions – eliminating distracting fringing and edge discolouration. The compressed perspective lends a distinctive visual character, ideally suited for evocative portraiture and detailed reportage studies. Despite its optical brilliance, the APO-Summicron-M 90 remains remarkably lightweight, delivering superb balance and effortless handling.

The sophisticated optical formula comprises five lenses arranged in five groups, including an aspherical lens and multiple elements crafted from specialised glass with anomalous partial dispersion. This configuration guarantees exceptional precision in both colour rendering and image sharpness. Its close focus distance is 1 metre. The integrated, retractable lens hood provides effective shielding from glare – while contributing to the lens’s signature compact form. The precision-engineered brass body delivers enduring durability and reliable focusing accuracy, even under intensive use.
