Leica will sell an extremely limited run of its 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M in a black anodized finish, a new re-release of the lens that first hit the market in 1961.but today announced that it will make a special black anodized version available, which it describes as a “strictly numbered, limited edition design variant.”
An engraving on the front of the lens reads “Leitz Wetzlar” and the company also points out a detail, which is a black painted brass focus lock button which it says will acquire a “unique patina” with frequent use. While the exterior is different, optically, this special edition version should perform identically to existing 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M lenses. Leica says that photos captured wide-open at f/1.4 creates “especially soft” and “almost magical” bokeh which it says is hard to achieve with even digital processing. The company adds that this particular look, which can be seen in the images directly below, are what gave it the name the “King of Bokeh.
