    The 35mm lens for atmosphere, street and reportage in low light

    35mm is the focal length when you’re close in but still want to retain enough environment in the frame. At f/1.2, this lens delivers reserves precisely where others fail due to ISO or camera shake: interiors, twilight, night, concerts, bars, urban available-light scenes. The 61.5° angle of view is perfect for street and reportage because subjects appear natural while you still convey plenty of context.

    Soft bokeh, clear separation – 12 blades for a round look

    The large aperture isn’t just for light, but also for visual impact. The 12 aperture blades are designed to keep the opening as round as possible, so highlights remain pleasantly soft and out-of-focus transitions appear smooth. This is ideal when you want to deliberately isolate with 35mm: emphasize foreground subjects, calm backgrounds, retain atmosphere in the image.

    Optics that convince wide open – 9/7 construction with 4 aspherical surfaces

    The optical formula uses 9 lenses in 7 groups and employs 4 aspherical surfaces along with high-index glass. In practice, this delivers clean correction of typical errors such as aberrations and ensures high detail and contrast performance into the corners, even when working at f/1.2. That’s precisely what makes the difference when you want to use wide open not just as an effect, but as standard.

    More flexibility in everyday use – 0.5 m minimum focusing distance and Leica M handling

    A genuine practical advantage is the extended close-focus capability: the lens focuses down to 0.5 m, while the rangefinder coupling (depending on camera) extends to 0.7 m. For you, this means: shoot classically via the rangefinder down to 0.7 m, and for even closer work simply use Live View. Add to that a 52 mm filter thread, compact dimensions (61.8 × 51.8 mm) and 300 g weight, making the setup powerful yet highly portable. The lens hood LH-14 is available as an option.
