The Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 (11870), produced from 1967 to 1995, represents the second generation of Leica’s fast 35mm lenses, building on the charm of the original “Steel Rim” version (11870z) from the early 1960s. While both share the same basic optical formula, the 11870 introduced improvements in handling, coatings, and mechanical reliability, offering a slightly more contrasty image and marginally less flare while retaining the classic glow, distinctive bokeh and compact size that made the early Summilux lenses so sought-after. This version was eventually succeeded by the ASPH Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 (11874) in 1994, which introduced a modern aspherical element for vastly improved sharpness, contrast, and edge performance which sacrificed some of the earlier lens’s character in favour of technical precision and consistency across the frame. This example is near mint with almost no signs of use, only tiny paint loss around the edges of the front of barrel. Recently serviced by Leica Germany this lens is close to a perfect example. Includes original box with matching serial number, front cap, rear cap, 12504 hood and series VII UV filter.
