Apochromatic Design

It uses an apochromatic design that reduces the axial chromatic aberration of the RGB components that make up the three primary colors of light as close to zero as possible.

High performance and compact

The newly designed optical system uses anomalous partial dispersion glass for six of the eight elements in seven groups. Despite its high performance, the lens has a total length of 63.3 mm (from the mount surface), and vignetting of the shooting frame when using a rangefinder is suppressed.

Beautiful bokeh with 12 aperture blades

A 12-blade aperture is used to make the aperture shape closer to a circle, resulting in natural depiction of out-of-focus areas and soft, round bokeh of point light sources rather than polygonal.

Dedicated metal hood included

The included metal hood has a bayonet-type fitting and can be attached in reverse when stored. It maintains the compact size of the main body and is convenient to carry.

Manual focus for precise focus control

The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that produces just the right amount of torque makes focusing feel smooth and allows for subtle focus adjustments.

Bayonet VM mount

The lens mount is the VM mount, which is compatible with the Leica M mount. It can be used with rangefinder cameras, and also has a well-balanced design when attached to a mirrorless digital camera via a mount adapter.

Equipped with rangefinder interlocking system

The high-precision rangefinder linkage mechanism enables precise focusing even at maximum aperture.

Full size image circle

It has a generous image circle that is compatible with full-frame 35mm format, and is extremely compact in size compared to interchangeable lenses for SLR cameras.
