Why we recommend this

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.

Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2

38.5 Macro Score
28mmf/2Leica M
Why we recommend this ▼

The f/2 aperture and single aspherical element deliver high contrast and edge-to-edge sharpness across full-frame Leica M sensors, with a 0.4m minimum focus enabling detailed close-up compositions. Its 275g all-metal brass build and dual-curve manual focus mechanism provide a durable, precise tactile experience despite the absence of weather sealing. Environmental portrait and street photographers seeking a fast wide-angle lens with 10-blade diaphragm bokeh will find it most valuable, though its landscape performance scores lowest.
