Leica Summicron-C 40mm f2 / minolta m-rokkor 40 f2
This 40mm lens from Leica is one that gets overlooked a lot. I actually enjoy using it for photography. And its imaging is also in line with Leica’s color style. This lens was designed by Leica for use with Leica CL film cameras and is designed to be portable. There are three versions in total,…

Leica Elmar 50mm f/3.5 (5cm/3.5)
The Birth of the Standard Lens The original Leica, created in 1914, was the first camera to use film in the 24 x 36mm format. At least three UR Leicas were built by Barnack, who also tried out different lenses, including the retractable Mikro-Summar 42mm f/4.5. A standard lens is one whose focal length is…

This lens was designed by Berek, the first designer of Leica, back in 1933. At the time, it was mainly designed to go up against Zeiss’ Sonnar lens. Leica Summar 50/f2 is produced in quite a lot. Because they’re so old, these lenses almost all need some maintenance. The good news is that it’s a…

The Leica Noctilux 50 1.2 is great for separating people from their surroundings, but it’s best for full-body portraits. This lens isn’t ideal for half-length portraits. The lack of clarity makes it difficult to distinguish between the half-length…

With 2-meter focusing, street photography is a breeze. While many street photographers like to shoot at f/8, I prefer…

leica summicron-m 35mm f2 v1 8-element
I’d heard about this lens before I even owned a Leica camera. I’d heard from older colleagues how great the first-generation Summicron 35mm lens is. It wasn’t until I got my own Leica camera and put it on this legendary lens that I could confirm what my colleagues had said. It’s really excellent. I often…

Leica Summicron 50mm F2 V4
The Art of Balance Leica has so many wonderful choices at 50mm! You can go with the compact Elmar, the large-aperture Summilux, the super large-aperture Noctilux,and finally the balanced Summicron. I’m really starting to like this V4 lens, and Leica has positioned the Summicron to actually be balanced, which I think is great! I know…
