Light Lens Lab launches an ambitious new 35mm f/2 Apochromatic lens for Leica M
A new 35mm f/2 APO lens has arrived for Leica M – with four aspherical elements
Light Lens Lab has begun accepting preorders for its latest 35mm f/2 Apochromatic lens designed for the Leica M camera system. This premium optic represents the launch of the company's new Apochromatic Series, showcasing cutting-edge optical technology. The lens incorporates four aspherical elements, ultra-low-dispersion and anomalous partial-dispersion glass, and a high-transmission multilayer coating to minimize chromatic aberration and purple fringing.
With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.3 meters, it offers unprecedented close-up capabilities compared to many traditional Leica M lenses. Light Lens Lab has crafted the lens using in-house-developed high-precision optical and mechanical components, including miniature bearings for smooth focusing. Buyers can choose between two barrel designs: a smooth version for a minimalist look or a close-focus-knurled version for enhanced grip.
Limited edition titanium versions will be available for preorder until September 10, 2026, while the standard smooth and knurled versions will begin shipping in September and December 2026, respectively.
