Arguably, many feel that Leica’s most versatile lens is the 35mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH. This lens has found itself in the hands of many photographers, in-studio or on assignment this lens has the ability to do it all and has earned the praise, and tendency to remain “glued” to the photographer's cameras.

The Leica 75mm lens has always been a unique focal length for a rangefinder camera. It could be considered the “Goldilocks” focal length, not too short but not too far, just somewhere in between. This focal length teeters a fine line as many photographers embrace it just as much as shy away from it in favor of other focal lengths. The 75mm f1.4 Summilux lens paved a new path for many photographers that embrace this focal length as well as piquing the interest of many other photographers who found it interesting.
