Leica APO-Summicron-M 75mm f/2 ASPH.: Optical Perfection

The ultimate reference for rangefinder portraiture. We are proud to offer this APO-Summicron-M 75mm f/2 ASPH. (S/N 4260404). This lens is more than just a portrait tool; it represents one of the peaks of the M system, designed for photographers who refuse to compromise on sharpness and contrast.

A Brief History

Designed by the legendary Peter Karbe, the 75mm APO-Summicron succeeded Mandler’s mythical 75mm Summilux. Its arrival marked a turning point: the introduction of apochromatic correction (APO) and aspherical surfaces (ASPH.) to a portrait focal length. The result is an optic capable of resolving the finest details, even at wide-open aperture, virtually eliminating all chromatic aberrations.

Why is it a Masterful Choice Today?

• Surgical Sharpness at $f/2$: Unlike many lenses, this objective reaches its peak performance from the widest aperture. The sharpness is breathtaking from the center to the very edges of the frame.

• APO & ASPH. Correction: Apochromatic technology guarantees clean transitions and pure colors, without color fringing, even on high-contrast subjects.

• Precision Bokeh: While it is an f/2, the compression of the 75mm focal length combined with its advanced optical formula creates a subject separation that is almost three-dimensional (the famous Leica "3D pop").

• Compactness and Ergonomics: Despite its studio-level performance, it remains remarkably compact. Its integrated telescopic lens hood is a model of practicality for the field photographer.
