Designed for compactness & unparalleled resolution
Dr Walter Mandler developed the Elcan 66mm f/2 at Ernst Leitz Canada in the late 1960s. Designed for use by the US Navy, only around 200 units were produced. This makes this lens one of the rarest in the Leica M – System, giving it special optical and historical significance. To honor this lens, Leica Camera AG is presenting a reinterpretation, by expanding its Classic Line with the new Leica Summicron – M 66 f/2.

Distinctive Rendering at Wide Apertures
The Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 has been developed based on its legendary predecessor. The new version of this standard lens is also made by hand out of solid brass and equipped with a removable, round lens hood. This protects the lens, minimizes glare and lens flares, and emphasizes the vintage look. The aesthetics of this classic lens form a perfect symbiosis with a Leica M-Camera, both visually and technically.
