Summilux-M 90mm f1.5 ASPH. Leica product code 11678. A truly distinctive lens within the M system, combining a large aperture, medium telephoto focal length, and high speed. Filter size is E67, with a built-in hood.
The f1.5 aperture, reminiscent of the Noctilux, delivers a striking contrast between the razor-sharp focus plane and an overwhelming, creamy bokeh. The sense of depth that makes the subject stand out is unique to this lens. Backgrounds melt away beautifully, and together with the natural compression of a 90mm lens, it produces highly expressive images.
Weighing 958g, its size and presence are considerable, but the rendering is in a class of its own. Highly recommended for portrait work. As seen on Leica’s official site, it would also be a pleasure to compare it with the Noctilux-M 75mm f1.25.
