  • Description

    Versatile focal length for everyday, street, and reportage photography

    The 40mm focal length sits between 35mm and 50mm, offering a balanced perspective. Subjects appear natural, without being depicted too wide or too tight. This makes the lens particularly suitable for street photography, reportage, travel, and daily use where flexibility is required.

    f/1.4 for low light and precise depth of field control

    The high speed allows for shooting in challenging lighting conditions and supports deliberate control of depth of field. Subjects can be clearly separated from the background, while the image effect remains calm and controlled. Especially in available light situations, the lens offers additional creative possibilities.

    Two coatings for different image characteristics

    The lens is available in two versions. The MC version offers higher contrast and more neutral color reproduction, making it particularly suitable for digital Leica M cameras. The SC version is characterized by softer contrasts and a more classic image character, often preferred for portrait and black-and-white photography.

    Manual focusing, designed for Leica M

    Manual focusing supports a deliberate and precise working method. The lens is balanced in its construction and perfectly matches the handling of Leica M cameras. It is suitable for photographers who value control, reduction, and a clear visual language.
