Farewell to the Summarits: Good and faithful servants but sadly misunderstood

Leica Joerg-Peter Rau -
After 13 years the modern range of Summarit lenses has come to the end. Since 2007 the Summarits have offered great performance at an attractive price. They were vastly underestimated and under-appreciated. It's a sad day to see them go.

Beautiful new Summarit lenses from Leica

Leica Mike Evans -

The new Summarit lenses announced by Leica this morning are a triumph of design. What's more, they are beautiful. The big surprise is the weight of the aluminium versions. Anyone used the to the extra heft of a chrome Summilux 35 or 50 will be amazed to find these new lenses weighing more or less the same as the black versions.
