A New Benchmark in Portrait Photography
The Leica Summilux-M 90 mm f/1.5 ASPH. is the brand's latest in the long line of famed Summilux lenses, now for the very first time in the 90 mm focal length. This lens is perfect for portraits with an incredibly shallow depth of field, even half that of the legendary 50 mm Noctilux-M f/0.95 ASPH., allowing a striking separation of its razor-sharp subjects from the dreamy backgrounds with a lovely bokeh. Whether used on a Leica M10 or on the new Leica SL2 with the M-Adapter L, the Leica Summilux-M 90 mm f/1.5 ASPH. promises to bring portraits to life with new levels of sharpness and its own signature look.
The Summilux-M 90 mm f/1.5 ASPH. is distinguished by an elaborate construction comprised of 8 lens elements, two of which are aspherical in design and made of specialized glass types, arranged in 6 groups. A floating lens element ensures the superior optical performance of the lens is maintained across the full focus range. This advanced lens design and fast maximum aperture it achieves gives the lens its unique image rendering and unparalleled performance.
Perfection Through Precision
The unique performance of the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. is not only guaranteed by the use of special materials and lenses, but also by the particularly precise and sophisticated manufacturing process. In addition to optical performance, this also guarantees the durability and lasting value of this unique lens. The extremely smooth focusing is one result of this incredible craftsmanship. The wonderful, controlled bokeh, which requires extremely precise adjustment of the lenses, is another.
Design of the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH.
The optical design of the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. comprises eight lenses in six groups, including two aspherical elements for effective correction of aberrations and several lenses with anomalous partial dispersion for precise color and contrast rendering. Despite its high speed, the lens delivers impressive sharpness even with a wide aperture and is characterized by a particularly soft, atmospheric bokeh. With a close focus distance of 3.3 feet and its precisely manufactured mechanics, the Summilux-M 90 f/1.5 ASPH. is not only suitable for classic portraits, but also for expressive scenes captured in minimal light.
