Key Features
- Leica M-Mount Lens
- Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
- One Aspherical Element
- Floating Elements System
One of the most versatile lenses available for Leica M-mount rangefinders, the black Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. is a general wide-angle lens characterized by its sophisticated optics and bright f/1.4 maximum aperture. The fast lens is well-suited for available light photography and also affords greater control over depth of field for selective focus shooting. The optical design incorporates one aspherical element to control spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and clarity, and a floating elements system is used to maintain performance throughout the focusing range.

When using the Leica CL with the adapter, and using using this lens, would the camera be set at M? And will I be able to to see shutter speed/aperture settings in the viewfinder? Thank you so much!
The Leica CL with an adapted M lens can be used in Aperture priority and manual. You will see the shutter speed in the EVF or on the LCD, but the aperture is only displayed on the lens. It will show as – in the EVF or on the LCD.

question
Is the aperture on new serial numbers of this lens still loose? I have an earlier serial number and the aperture ring is really loose and bumps easily. I would consider selling mine and buying one built more recently if the problem has been fixed. Thank you.
Still loose. Bumps easily.

when using this lens with this adaptor https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1455279-REG/kipon_leica_viso_eos_adapter.html on Canon C500 will it reach infinity and will it cover the Full Frame? Thanks
Sorry, it is not possible to mount a Leica M mount lens on a EF mount camera. The flange depth of the Leica is 27.8 while on the EF camera it is 44mm. Even if you succeed in mounting it, the focus plane would be 16.8mm in front of the sensor resulting in an hopelessly out of focus image.

What Brand of the 46mm UV filter will correctly fit and the lens ? I just purchased B+W 46mm XS-Pro UV Haze MRC-Nano 010M Filter and outside diameter (to big) of this filter prevent to install the hood.
Using the Leica UV filter is your best option, other brand filters may or may not fit with the hood. It is difficult to know unless you try different ones.

Can I adapt to EF? Will it cover full frame camera?
All Leica M lenses, including this one, cover full frame 35mm sensors. I don’t know if you can get an EF adapter.
