With 35, 50, 75 and 90 millimetre focal lengths, the Summarit series covers the full spectrum of classic rangefinder photography, from the word go. The lenses are, of course, 6-bit encoded for optimised use with the Leica M digital cameras and true to the Leica tradition, they are designed to reveal their full potential with all M cameras from the Leica M3 onwards.
All Summarit-M lenses are shipped in velour pouches, with metal lens caps for the front and back. In addition high-quality solid metal sun hoods are available as accessories.
The Leica Summarit-M 90 mm f/2.5 is a versatile telephoto lens that rounds off the new lens speed class of Summarit-M lenses. Despite being much more handy and lighter than the comparable 90 mm Summicron lens, it offers outstanding optical and mechanical quality.
The 90 mm telephoto lens is a perfect demonstration of how Leica's Summarit-M class is setting new standards in spherical lens design. A Leica M camera with a Leica Summarit-M 90 mm f/2.5 fitted is an extremely compact and handy unit. Compared to other 90 mm focal length lenses, there is hardly any intrusion into the viewfinder image.
