Distinguished by its olive-green finish
As a Safari design variant, this standard focal length is every bit as distinctive as the images it creates. The coveted, durable matt olive-green finish paired with the finely detailed adjustment scales lend the lens a striking appearance. Like the series model, the Safari Edition delivers natural perspectives aligned with the human field of view and maintains strong performance even in challenging lighting conditions. Thanks to its selective focus capabilities, it is perfectly suited for portraits, delivering high-contrast images with finely resolved detail – even at full aperture and right down to the close focus distance.
A Wide-Angle Built for Pure Creative Freedom
The Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH. brings together speed, precision, and elegant engineering in a compact form that fits naturally into any M-system kit. Designed for photographers who thrive on versatility, this lens delivers the kind of clarity and tonal separation that turns fleeting moments into lasting images—even when the light is less than forgiving.
Its durable metal construction houses a finely tuned optical design that performs beautifully at its widest aperture, maintaining crisp detail and smooth transitions from center to edge. From richly textured street scenes to expansive environmental portraits, the lens excels at rendering subtle structure while keeping bokeh pleasingly refined. A threaded metal hood and protective ring add thoughtful practicality, ensuring the front element and filter thread stay safe whether you're on the move or shooting uncovered.
Precision Optics Refined for Modern Sensors
Engineers reimagined the optical formula to minimize astigmatic shift across the frame—an enhancement that pays off instantly when working with today’s high-resolution digital sensors. The result is exceptional corner-to-corner performance, a confident handling of contrast, and a signature rendering that feels distinctly Leica. With a close-focus distance of 0.7 meters and a comfortable 28mm field of view, this lens is ready for everything from travel and reportage to everyday storytelling.
