    The 35mm Look – for Reportage, Street and Travel

    35mm is the perfect focal length when images should feel natural yet still convey enough context. The APO-Lanthar delivers exactly that: a modern, extremely clean look for reportage, street and travel photography when you want to capture scene, detail and color without compromise. With a 63.6° angle of view, the perspective remains authentic, feeling neither too tight nor too wide.

    Clean Colors Instead of Color Fringing – Apochromatically Corrected for Maximum Clarity

    The key practical difference is the apochromatic correction: color fringing at high-contrast edges is significantly reduced, fine structures appear clearer, and details retain their definition. This is especially valuable with architecture, urban scenes, backlit edges, reflective surfaces or fine textures, where conventional lenses tend to “fray” more quickly. The result is an image that looks refined and clean, without requiring post-processing correction.

    Sharpness and Contrast into the Corners – Optically Sophisticated, Visible in Results

    The construction with 11 elements in 9 groups is engineered for maximum imaging performance. In practice, this means high detail resolution, stable contrast and uniform image quality across the entire frame—exactly what you want when outputting large Leica M files, cropping cleanly, or simply having the best possible foundation for prints.

    More Control in Daily Use – 0.5 m Close Focus, 12 Blades and Leica M Handling

    The lens focuses down to 0.5 m, while rangefinder coupling on Leica M operates from infinity to 0.7 m. This means: classic, fast focusing via rangefinder down to 0.7 m, and for close range down to 0.5 m you use Live View for additional perspectives. The 12 aperture blades create a circular opening and very harmonious bokeh when working deliberately with depth. With a 49 mm filter thread, approximately 58.1 mm length and 304 g weight, the setup also remains comfortably balanced for long days on location.
