Leitz Canada Summicron 35mm f/2 (V2): The Soul of Reportage

Authentic character from the 1970s. We are pleased to offer this Leitz Canada Summicron 35mm f/2 (S/N 2446531), manufactured in 1970. This second version of the 35mm Summicron (the "6-element" version) is highly sought after for its record-breaking compactness and "vintage" rendering, providing a unique texture and contrast that modern lenses cannot replicate.

Why is it a Masterful Choice Today?

• Iconic Vintage Rendering: Unlike modern aspherical versions, this "6-element" Summicron offers a smooth transition to blur and an organic micro-contrast, perfect for portraits and humanistic street photography.

• Ultimate Compactness: One of the smallest M lenses ever produced. It turns your Leica body into a pocketable, discreet, and perfectly balanced kit.

• "Focus Tab" Ergonomics: Featuring the classic focusing tab, it allows for intuitive handling and unparalleled speed when using the rangefinder.

• Leitz Canada Heritage: Manufactured in the historic Midland factory under the supervision of Mandler-era engineers, it represents the golden age of Leica mechanical construction.
