Please note that while the initial supply of the new Leica Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH III Safari will be extremely limited, this is not a special or restricted edition making it an ideal opportunity to secure the sought-after Safari finish without the premium typically associated with limited releases.
The lens features a lightweight aluminum barrel and weighs the same as the standard, black-anodized version for familiar, effortless handling. The Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH III Safari brings an exceptional combination of speed, clarity, and versatility. Its wide-angle field of view, paired with an extended close-focus distance of 15.75 inches, opens up creative possibilities that few 28mm lenses can match. Finished in Leica’s iconic matte olive-green with high-contrast adjustment scales, this lens delivers the celebrated Safari aesthetic that continues to be one of the most desirable looks in the M system.
Built on Leica’s latest optical design, this Safari edition fully leverages todays and future high-resolution sensors—producing images with remarkable contrast, rich micro-detail, and signature Leica rendering. Compact, lightweight, and beautifully balanced, it offers the classic M-series experience, and the included screw-on lens hood can be mounted or removed in a single quick motion. A rare opportunity with limited initial delivery—an exceptional lens in both performance and character.
