One aspherical element helps to control spherical aberrations and distortions at all aperture and focus positions for improved sharpness, even illumination, and reduced vignetting.
Seven anomalous partial dispersion elements and three cemented elements suppress color fringing and chromatic aberrations and contribute to natural color rendering and high contrast imagery.
Floating elements system maintains consistent image quality throughout the focusing range.
Manual focus design provides a minimum focusing distance of 2.3' with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:21.9.

Leica Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH. Reviews
Almost Perfect
By WALTER
Rated 4 out of 5

I've owned this lens for over 1 year and use it on a M11. It's my second favorite Leica Lens (my favorite:M 50mm APO f2.0). High Contrast Chromatic Aberration is why I rated this lens a 4. Yes, Lightroom often, but not always, makes CA easy to remove. Except for CA in high contrast photos, this lens is a 5+. The photos included are from the upper right corner and magnified 300%. Looking at the photo at 100% you really don't see the CA. So this lens should be rated a 4.75 with the CA issue being considered.
Oops! Lens is perfect

I goofed in my previous review, saying the lens would not accept 49mm screw-in filters. The lens does -- but not as described in the instructions that come with the lens. It turns out there is -- unidentified in the manual -- a retaining ring which can be unscrewed and removed, which then exposes the 49mm female thread for screw-in filters.
