SUMMILUX-M 35 f/1.4 ASPH., SAFARI
Accessories for this lens
The Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. Edition “Safari” is the iconic fast 35 with a bold twist: the classic matte olive-green Safari finish. Revered as the ultimate everyday M lens, the Summilux 35 delivers a timeless combination of speed, character, and modern optical performance — now available in a rare collector’s edition.
Technically identical to the standard Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH., this special edition features a durable olive-green lacquer, engraved and paint-filled markings, and a matching classic round lens hood. The finish will develop a subtle patina with use, pairing beautifully with past and present Safari edition Leica cameras as well as black or silver M bodies.
