Summicron-M 35 King Of Bokeh sn°3116361

Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 "King of Bokeh" (V4)

The genesis of an optical legend. We are pleased to offer this Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 (S/N 3116361), manufactured in 1981. This specific unit belongs to the early production years of the famous "King of Bokeh." Designed by Walter Mandler’s team, it has become the benchmark lens for those seeking an organic image signature with an unmatched, creamy background blur.

Why is it a Masterful Choice Today?

• Authentic "Mandler" Rendering: Its 7-element formula produces high micro-contrast in the center while offering a gentle fall-off toward the edges, creating that 3D "pop" so beloved in humanist photography.

• The King of Compactness: With its ultra-minimalist design, this lens makes the M-system truly pocketable. It is so lightweight that it disappears on the camera body.

• Intuitive Ergonomics: The iconic focus tab allows you to "feel" the focus distance without looking at the lens, an invaluable asset for candid street photography.

• Collector's Investment: Early 1980s copies like this one are increasingly sought after by collectors for their historical significance within the Summicron lineage.
