[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just heard that Leica will offer a new version of the Summicron 35mm f/2.0, slightly bulkier than the existing model. The lens has one aspheric surface and should have better contrast, better definition and less vignetting than the actual Summicron. Best aperture f5.6. The Summicron-M 35mm f/2.0 ASPH has been designed and build in Germany and will be available in black and chrome starting July 1997. As the 35mm Summicron is for many their standard M glass, I thought you would be interested in above. Gerard Captijn, Geneva, Switzerland. E-mail: captyng@vtx.ch Fax: +41 (22) 700 39 28
