Product Overview

Leica Summicron-TL 23mm F2 ASPH is a wide-angle prime lens for Leica L-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Leica in 2014, it has 9 elements in 6 groups.
As a wide-angle prime lens that is quite compact, the Leica Summicron-TL 23mm F2 ASPH can be an interesting component of a prime-lens kit well adapted for travel. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization.
