Model Details

Manual focus telephoto lens made for M-mount rangefinder cameras introduced by Leica in 1957. Leica made many versions of the 9cm/90mm f2 Summicron. This is the first version of the lens. The lens is identical to the LTM M39 version (SOOZI), but for the M system. It uses the removable lens hood HMOOD (12527). It has a factory-fitted screw-to-bayonet adapter, indicating that the lens was built upon the chassis of the LTM M39 mount version. The lens was produced in Canada, but a few early production lenses (about 200, made as early as 1953) were assembled in Germany. Metal body available in silver (11127).

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.
