Model Details

Manual focus wide normal M-mount lens made for rangefinder cameras introduced by Leica in 1966. This is the second version of the original Summilux from 1960. It uses Series VII filters and the 12504 hood instead of the older E41 filters and the OLLUX 12522 hood. The lens was no longer available in silver after this change. NOTE: The product code from the silver type I carries over to the black type II. It uses 7 spherical elements. Early examples incorporate an infinity lock, while later examples do not. This catalog is for the early model with a lock. A few later models are marked "Summilux-M". Metal body available in black.

Leica M

Leica’s M mount was introduced in 1953 alongside its first camera, the M3. Despite the rise of the SLR, Leica cameras have continued to succeed as their unique combination of build quality, speed, and discretion sets them apart from competition. The M bayonet mount, and the cameras introduced alongside it, offered (& continue to offer) a number of advantages over SLRs and other rangefinder cameras.

One big advantage is automatic framelines, which react to the lens on the camera to show accurate framelines in the viewfinder. This is even possible with older Leica Thread Mount (LTM) lenses if the correct adapter is used.

Other manufacturers, such as Cosina Voigtländer, Carl Zeiss, Konica, and Minolta, have also produced rangefinder cameras using Leica M mount.
