The Leica landscape is ever-changing. Here you can find the latest developments and announcements from both Leica and Tamarkin Camera.
24-70 Vario-Elmarit-SL f2,8 ASPH
Announcing the latest in the Leica SL lens line – the new 24-70 Vario-Elmarit-SL f2,8 ASPH. This new addition to the SL line of lenses is an ideal focal range with a constant maximum aperture of f2,8. Take a look:
• 19 elements (3 with ASPH surfaces on both sides) in 15 groups
• Consistent f2,8 maximum aperture throughout the full zoom range
• Fast internal focusing with a single, lightweight lens element
• Compact design and lighter weight
• Stabilized by the SL2 and SL2-S BIS systems
• Excellent sharpness across all f-stops and focus distances with creamy bokeh
• Metal body with weather-sealing
35 APO-Summicron-M f2 ASPH
Announcing an exciting new innovation from Leica for the M system: the new 35 APO-Summicron-M f2 ASPH
Pushing the limits of technological possibilities, Leica will soon deliver a new masterpiece of German engineering, the 35 APO-Summicron. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.3m (just under one foot!), this new wide angle M lens has a detent at 0.7m on the focus ring, so you can feel when the lens steps into the close-focus range. The elaborate lens design, combined with the high-precision manufacturing processes in Wetzlar, Germany, reduces chromatic aberrations to almost zero and also provides chromatic correction – a quality that is rarely found in lenses of this focal length, and a first for a 35 mm lens in the M-System.
50 Noctilux-M f1,2 ASPH
The Groundbreaking Noctilux is Reborn
Announcing the Leica 50 Noctilux-M 1,2 ASPH lens, reinvisioned to today’s imaging standard, while keeping the classic 1966 look and feel of the original Noctilux lens.
The Noctilux’s legendary status and unique imaging aesthetic offers soft, almost dreamlike quality that creates an unmistakable look with an exquisite bokeh. This iconic reissue is very close to the original computation, and benefits from modern optic- and lens-construction techniques. Like the original 1966 lens, which was the world's very first production aspherical lens with hand-ground aspheres, this new Noctilux-M is offered in the modern black anodised finish and recreates the look and feel of the original, legendary Noctilux f1,2 lens that is so treasured by collectors today...
