A favored and versatile focal length coupled with an optically refined design, the Leica APO-Summicron-SL 35mm f/2 ASPH. is a general wide-angle prime designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. The bright f/2 maximum aperture strikes a balance between speed and overall weight and size, offering a portable form factor along with the ability to excel in available light conditions. The apochromatic optical design uses anomalous partial dispersion glass to suppress color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color accuracy, and five aspherical elements are also featured to reduce spherical aberrations for improved sharpness. Multi-layer coatings have also been applied to limit flare and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optics is a Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor, which delivers fast and quiet autofocus performance to suit both stills and video applications. Additionally, an AquaDura coating has been applied to the exposed elements and seals have been incorporated in the lens design to benefit working in harsh environmental conditions.

Leica APO Summicron SL 35mm f/2 ASPH. Reviews
Best lens I've ever owned
Came from a Leica Q2 and thought that was good. This lens takes it to the next level, never seen images like this from a lens/camera. Can't ever go back to a Canon or Sony now.
Simply The Best
Due to the virus situation I have not used this lens nearly as much as I would normally have with a new lens. However, I have been shooting in and around our condo and our outside terrace. In short the image quality of this lens is Simply The Best. Regardless of aperture setting, from f2 on up to f9 (I usually stop at f9 with an occasional f11) images are sharp across the image, crips, lovely color saturation, contrast, all are excellent. And in a first, remarkably I have not been able to detect ANY chromatic aberration; no green, cyan or purple fringing. A TRUE APO lens. A slight negative would be this lens, while smaller than I expected (this lens is like a mini or 3/4 size S lens) is still a little heavy and when mounted on my SL (601) the combo weighs just about 4 pounds. However this weight is worth the slight bother to me to have have a general purpose lens that I can shoot all day in all settings and obtain images that are as good as I've been getting. I live in downtown Scottsdale AZ and this shot is from my terrace of a sunset looking southeast.
