Product Overview

Leica Summaron-M 28mm F5.6 is an ultra-compact manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for Leica M-mount. It covers the Full-Frame image circle. Introduced by Leica in 2016, it has 6 elements in 4 groups.
Unfortunately, Leica has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
As a wide-angle prime lens that is quite compact, the Leica Summaron-M 28mm F5.6 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.
