ASPH
There are so many wonderful Leica 28mm lenses to choose from! You’ve got the 28mm f/6.3 Hekor, the 28mm f/5.6, and the Elmarit 28mm f/2.8 (v1, v2, v3, v4). There are so many different versions and lots of stories to tell! The current 28mm f/2 ASPH is the upgrade of the Elmarit 28mm f/2.8 v4, and it uses ASPH glass. It has great 3D vision, a sharp f/2 aperture, and perfect bokeh!
f/2 Bokeh
I just love the bokeh from the Summicron! It’s so easy on the eye and not at all messy. This lens is based on the design concept of modern lenses, which is really great! ASPH lenses are great for improving clarity and making bokeh nice and soft. It’s not technically part of the Leica classic lens series, but it has a really impressive optical performance! The f/2 aperture is great for shooting in low light, and the lens is really fast, so it’s super versatile!
Shortcoming
Just a quick note to let you know that the aperture ring on this lens is a little loose, so it’s easy to accidentally touch it and change the aperture without realizing it. No big deal, just thought I’d give you a heads-up! Also, the hood is a bit big, so I usually leave it off.
ZM. VM.
This is the best Leica lens on the market right now, and it’s better than all 28mm lenses from Zeiss ZM and Voigtlander VM. If you think the Summicron 28 is too expensive, a used Elmarit 28 F2.8 is a great deal.
