The Leica Summicron-M 28 f/2 ASPH. Edition "Safari" wide-angle lens impresses with its brilliant imaging performance and allows the use of selective sharpness. The reproduction of the finest details produces images of exceptional plasticity. The Summicron-M 1:2/28 ASPH. Edition "Safari" corresponds in its technical features to the product from the series production and is not only the perfect match for all those who own a "Safari" camera: the lens is just as compatible with all M cameras with the special olive green paint finish that have been released so far, as it is with all M cameras built since 1954.
The exceptionally hard-wearing, olive green paint has a long-standing tradition at Leica. The first Leicas to be treated with this superior-quality enamel finish were designed for military use. It was not long before the cameras became widely renowned as robust tools that could withstand even the most extreme conditions.
