Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux M Aspherical Manual Focus Lens (6-Bit) - Black USA
This ultra high-speed wide-angle lens is characterized by exceptionally brilliant contrast, superb resolution and detail rendition, as well as being virtually coma-free. The complex optical design with an aspherical lens surface produces an image quality that is unsurpassed in compact 35mm lenses, even at full aperture. Available in anodized black, silver chrome or titanium finishes.
This lens has been updated with the "6-bit" coding, which allows the digital M camera to read this information optically and to identify which lens is being used. The camera can then (optionally) apply a "final stage" software based vignetting correction (for RAW images the lens used is simply recorded, no change is made).
- An all-round versatile lens with a high speed that provides ample reserves for any situation.
- Includes "6-bit code" which allows the digital M8 camera to identify which lens is being used, and also to store this information in image metadata

I am an experienced amateur photographer and have come back to 35mm from using Hasselblad systems for the past few years. I previous used a variety of Nikon film cameras.
The Leica M9 is something to fall in love with. The 35mm aspherical lens is fast, a joy to accurately focus and delivers stunning iconic photographs.
I have been shooting intensively for the past 2 weeks since I got it and can say it is faultless in design in my opinion.
