Leica Summilux-M 90mm
Its f/1.5 maximum aperture and 8-element, 2-aspherical optical design yield sharp images with extremely shallow depth of field for subject isolation. The robust all-metal build and precise manual focus mechanism offer tactile creative control, and the 11-blade diaphragm renders smooth, circular bokeh. Best for portrait specialists using Leica M cameras who prioritize optical character and bokeh quality over autofocus convenience.
