Overview

The Leitz Wetzlar Summaron 35mm f/2.8 is a compact, all-metal lens praised for its sharpness at moderate apertures, low distortion, and vivid colors. It exhibits some vignetting and flare when shot against the sun, but stopping down improves corner sharpness and reduces vignetting. The lens has smooth focus and a solid build, though the infinity lock may be a minor drawback. It suits Leica M users seeking a lightweight, characterful, and affordable 35mm option, especially for street and general photography.
