A rare opportunity to acquire this most unique and singular lens.
This superb lens was purchased new four years ago. It has always been handled with the utmost care. While this singular 90mm Summilux cannot be described as compact or light by Leica M lens standard, it stands ready to deliver images that are unmatched by any other lens. Pure, glowy and full of Leica’s renown emotional content.
No signs of use are visible, either on the lens barrel or on the optical elements. The lens remains in outstanding condition and comes complete with its original box and all accessories supplied at the time of purchase.
Pairing speed, lighr gathering and stellar optics, the Leica Summilux-M 90mm f/1.5 ASPH. is a fast portrait-length lens offering impressive subject separation using an especially shallow depth of field. The bright f/1.5 design is ideal for portraiture but also suits working in low-light conditions. Beyond the fast design, this 90mm f/1.5 is also distinguished by its advanced optical composition that incorporates a pair of aspherical elements to ensure high sharpness and low dispersion, and a floating element system is also employed to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range from 3.3' to infinity. Additionally, this lens has an 11-blade diaphragm to produce an especially pleasing, rounded bokeh quality and a built-in lens hood helps to prevent lens flare and ghosting.
- Impressively fast f/1.5 maximum aperture affords notable control over depth of field for selective focus shooting, and also benefits working handheld in low-light conditions.
- Short-telephoto 90mm focal length offers a flattering image quality that is well-suited to portraiture and mid-length images, especially when used in conjunction with the shallow depth of field afforded by the bright maximum aperture.
- Two large-diameter aspherical elements are used to control spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced distortion.
- A floating element system is employed to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, even at the minimum focusing distance of 3.3'.
- An 11-blade diaphragm produces a rounded and pleasing bokeh quality.
- Built-in extendable lens hood shades and protects the front element to reduce lens flare and ghosting. Additionally, the front of the lens is threaded to accept 67mm screw-in filters.
