Distancia mínima de enfoque mejorada

Con una distancia mínima de enfoque de 40 centímetros, el objetivo gran angular abre fascinantes oportunidades fotográficas. Esta capacidad se debe a un exclusivo mecanismo de doble curva creado por los expertos ingenieros de Leica. Amplía notablemente el rango de rotación del anillo de distancia en comparación con el modelo anterior, lo que le permite acercarse aún más a sus sujetos. Este objetivo compacto cuenta con un anillo de enfoque que permite realizar ajustes excepcionalmente silenciosos, suaves y sencillos en toda la gama. El enfoque se sigue gestionando a través del telémetro de la cámara M hasta una distancia de 70 centímetros. Para distancias entre 70 y 40 centímetros, puedes confiar en la visualización en directo, Visoflex 2 o la aplicación Leica FOTOS.

The Strengths of the 28 mm Leica M-Lens

The Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. excels in scenarios where spatial awareness and contextual detail enrich the narrative. Whether in urban settings, on the road or during documentary assignments. Thanks to its f/2 lens speed, it makes photography possible even in challenging lighting and yields images that appear clear and naturally rendered. Its streamlined build lends itself perfectly to discreet photography. Its refined optical design ensures elevated contrast, suppresses distortion and preserves remarkable sharpness right to the outermost edges of the frame.

Design of the Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH.

With nine lenses in six groups – including an aspherical lens – the optical system achieves precise correction of both spherical aberrations and distortion. Its close focus distance is just 0.4 metres. The durable all-metal construction, complemented by a screw-in lens hood, offers dependable protection from glare while accentuating the lens’s characteristically compact profile.
