Overview

The Leica Summarit-S 70mm f/2.5 ASPH. is the standard focal length lens for the Leica S Digital Camera System, delivering a field of view similar to a 56mm lens on 35mm full-frame. Engineered with aspherical surfaces and special grades of optical glass, it achieves a level of sharpness and contrast that takes full advantage of the Leica S sensor's high resolution. Whether shooting wide open at f/2.5 or stopped down for maximum depth of field, the lens produces consistent, professional-grade results with minimal aberration and distortion.

With a minimum focus distance of just 0.5 meters, the Summarit-S 70mm is versatile enough for portraiture, product photography, and detailed close-up work alongside general-purpose shooting. The mechanical build reflects Leica's tradition of precision engineering, with smooth focusing action and a robust, weather-conscious construction. As a dedicated S-mount lens, it is purpose-built to extract the best performance from Leica's medium format sensor, making it the natural first choice for S-system photographers who need a single high-quality standard lens.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Summarit-S 70mm is designed exclusively for the Leica S Digital Camera System and is not compatible with other Leica mounts or third-party camera bodies.
On the Leica S medium format sensor, 70mm provides a field of view roughly equivalent to a standard 56mm lens on a 35mm full-frame camera, making it a natural everyday focal length.
The minimum focus distance is 1.6 feet (0.5 meters), allowing you to work relatively close to subjects for a standard focal length lens.
The aspherical surfaces correct optical aberrations such as spherical distortion and coma, resulting in sharper images with higher contrast, particularly toward the edges of the frame.
The maximum aperture is f/2.5, which provides a bright viewfinder image and allows for selective depth-of-field control.
