Leica could be bringing back a legendary 35mm lens, but there's one thing about this rumor I just don't believe
A new Leica Summaron 35mm for just €2,000? I'd love to believe it, but I know Leica better than that
Leica could bring back a legendary 35mm lens, according to recent rumors. However, the rumored price of €2,000 for the Summaron-M 35mm f/2.8 seems unlikely. The secondhand market shows that the original Summaron 35mm f/3.5 can be found for as little as $550, and it offers a unique vintage look that many photographers appreciate.
A modern recreation of the f/3.5 might be more appealing, as it could provide a different experience from Leica's current 35mm lenses while remaining at a more affordable price point. While Leica has not officially confirmed any plans, a Summaron-M 35mm f/2.8 at a lower price point would still be welcomed.
