Phil Penman – Seeing in Black and White
Presented by Leica and Bergen County Camera

The New APO-SUMMICRON-M 35 f/2 ASPH
For pictures that make history.
Tradition of excellence.
Leica M lenses have always been known to be among the best in the world. The APO-Summicron-M 35 f/2 certainly continues this tradition. At the same time, its extraordinary optical performance places the new addition in a league of its own – even among M lenses. With a closest focusing distance that is notably short for the M-System, exceptionally sharp rendition, distinctive bokeh and high light sensitivity, this masterpiece of German engineering enables photographers to work even more creatively – not just with the Leica M, but also with the Leica SL2 and SL2-S.
A closer look.
The APO-Summicron-M 35 f/2 ASPH. quite literally goes one step further, by facilitating true close-up shots. Its minimum focusing distance of just 30 centimetres surpasses all previous M lenses. A floating lens element ensures exceptional rendition quality across the entire image at all distance settings.
Striking portraits.
British photographer Huw John found the APO-Summicron-M 35 f/2 ASPH. equally suited to capturing portraits. “It’s amazing how thin the depth of focus is. You get insane focus on the eyelashes, then it drops off. Looking at this 100% crop, I would swear that it could have been taken with a focal length of 85 or even 105 mm!”
Portraiture with the APO-Summicron-M 35 f/2 ASPH. takes on a new dimension with stylish bokeh. Add the new close focus capability and this lens becomes a real all-rounder, with beautiful colour rendition and stunning sharpness and definition. This could well be the only lens you need!”
Huw John is a full-time photographer based in Cardiff, Wales. He has three decades of experience working for leading brands and organisations in the fields of film & TV, editorial and corporate PR.
His approach is not to actively chase his images, but to discover them through observation: once something captivates his attention, he presses the shutter.
