Leica's factory near Wetzlar, Germany makes Leica's high-performance lenses by hand. They are the result of many years of experience in optics and precision mechanics and are produced using unique technologies, the highest-quality materials and the commitment and craftsmanship of expert staff to truly deliver Leica quality to your images.

Leica S Series Lenses
The Leica Summarit-S  f/2.5 ASPH Lens is a classical wide angle lens with high optical Leica Summarit-S 35 mm f/2.5 ASPH Lensperformance. Two aspherical lenses together with special highly refractive glass with atypical partial dispersion, yields excellent sharpness and contrast throughout the image field. This reference-class lens displays consistently high image performance utilizing an inner focusing system with a floating element.

This lens displays maximum performance across the entire image field at all apertures. With a broad effective range of focus (minimum distance of 21.65' (55cm), it is possible to produce unusual and attractive compositions. With Leica's high-degree of lens precision there is almost no discernable vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberrations. Thus, images don't require a large amount of post-production corrections.- 

The Leica Summarit-S f/2.5 ASPH CS Lens is equipped with an integrated Central (leaf) Leica Summarit-S 35 mm f/2.5 ASPH CS LensShutter. Photographers can activate the shutter via the camera's main switch. It enables flash units to be used at a shutter speed of 1/500 second, and it performs effectively with studio flash units. The shutter also has an electronically-controlled drive guaranteeing reliable, fast exposure times and low energy consumption.

Leica Summarit-S 70mm f/2.5 ASPH LensThe Leica Summarit-S 70mm f/2.5 ASPH Lens is a high performance, standard focal length optic built exclusively for the Leica S Digital Camera System. Designed for professional applications, the lens guarantees outstanding color and contrast at all apertures and distances as close as 1.6' (0.5m). Highly refractive glass with anomalous partial dispersion provides image sharpness from edge to edge and a built-in front filter with environmental sealing protects the optic under harsh shooting conditions.

An integrated focal plane shutter provides action-stopping flash sync up to 1/500th of a second.
Leica APO-Macro-Summarit-S 120mm f/2.5 LensLeica APO-Macro-Summarit-S 120mm f/2.5 Lens - A superior-quality close-up lens with a reproduction scale of 1:2 and a high-speed telephoto. This reference-class lens, with special grades of glass and aspherical surfaces, displays consistently high image performance utilizing an inner focusing system with a floating element. This lens is suited for many applications due to its superb close-up and telephoto capabilities. It displays maximum performance even at full aperture settings. Vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberrations have been minimized to such a high degree that the need for quality-degrading image corrections and simplifying digital post-processing is substantially reduced.

This reference-class lens, with special grades of glass and aspherical surfaces, displays consistently high image performance utilizing an inner focusing system with a floating element. The APO Macro Summarit-S 120mm f/2.5 CS is equipped with an integrated Central (leaf) Shutter. Photographers can activate the shutter via the camera's main switch and it enables flash units to be used at a shutter speed of 1/500 second. The shutter also has an electronically-controlled drive guaranteeing reliable, fast exposure times and low energy consumption.
The Leica Tele-Elmar S180mm f35 - is a superior-quality telephoto characterized by an Leica APO-Macro-Summarit-S 120mm f/2.5 CS Lensextremely wide lens opening to enable portraits with a shallow depth of field. This reference-class lens, with special grades of glass and aspherical surfaces, displays consistently high image performance utilizing an inner focusing system with a floating element.

It displays maximum performance across the entire image field at all apertures. With a broad effective range of focus (minimum distance of 5-feet), it is possible to produce images at a 1:7 scale. With its special lens elements, vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberrations have been minimized to such a high degree that images don't require post-production computer enhancement.
