Leica 35mm 1.4 ASPH. While the older Leica lenses are well know for their mechanical and optical performance this particular lens did not quite meausre up to "my expectations". No doubt Leica makes the best manual rangefinder in production today but over the years others have caught up with them...
Pros:
- Smooth Focusing mechanical operation, solid professional construction, no doubt better than anything on the market designed for any rangefinder
- Optical performance is great under the right conditions.
Cons:
- The lens hood blocks to much of the viewfinder image for me and makes it difficult to compose the image on the fly
- Flare on this lens is horrible! (even with the lens hood on) It acts like a lens with no coating, and you cannot see this until you get the results back from the lab, due to the nature...

Leica 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M ASPH
LEICA 35mm f/1.4 ASPH (46mm filters, 11.4 oz./323g with hood, about $4,500 used ), twice life-size . enlarge more . This free website's biggest source of support is when you use these links , especially this link directly to it at eBay (see How to Win at eBay ), or maybe at Amazon .
Pros:
- Journalism
- and any place where you absolutely need f/1.4 instead of f/2
Cons:
- The LEICA 35mm f/2 is as good, and usually a better choice unless you absolutely need f/1.4
- This 35mm f/1.4 will block part of your finder, while the 35mm f/2 won't

Nice lens. But I prefer the Summicron
Stiff focus and loose aperture ring. After comparing the Summilux to the 35 Summicron. I feel the Summicron is best.
Pros:
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged

ultimate 35 mm lens
Ultimate 35 mm lens. With the addiction of the fixed lens element (FLE) in this model, Leica has eliminate the sporadically encountered problem of focus creep in its prior incarnation. Extremely sharp and constrasty. Beautiful bokeh.

Best lens human ever created
Best lens I have, creats image that is unbelievable sharp and beautiful! If you have Leica M and you are looking for a lens, this is the best choice you would have. It is pricy but it's worthy.

The best 35mm available
The 35mm FLE is probably the totem of Leica, the only con of this lens is the price tag, but it well worth the premium. It's my daily walk-around lens since the 35mm is the most versatile focal length.
