With a minimum focusing distance that is rarely found within the M-System, the new lens provides even greater scope for creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA masterpiece of German engineering for next-level authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe APO-Summicron-M 35 f\/2 ASPH. quite literally goes one step further, by facilitating true close-up shots. Its minimum focusing distance of just 0.3m surpasses all previous M-lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWith a beautifully engineered detent at 0.7m on the focus ring, the user can feel when the lens steps into the close-focus range and therefore know when they must switch to Live View on the screen or EVF on an M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe exceptional performance capability is made possible by the elaborate lens design, combined with the high-precision manufacturing processes at the Leica production plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ten lens elements are divided into five groups; three elements feature aspherical surfaces (one of them on both sides). Six Elements are made of glasses with anomalous partial dispersion, which not only reduces chromatic aberrations to almost zero, but also provides apochromatic correction – a quality that is rarely found in lenses of this focal length, and a first for a 35mm lens in the M-System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full
