The sensors of these Leica digital cameras are optimised specifically for use with Leica M lenses and recognise the lens and its parameters for image processing. As LEICA got older and sloppier, looser mechanical tolerances of newer cameras have made them incompatible with some of the features of this extraordinary lens. Leica SUMMICRON M Lenses CompatibilityĪll Leica SUMMICRON M lenses are compatible with the full-frame Leica range that includes models such as the Leica M10, and Leica M, as well as with the Leica T Typ 701 APS-C camera. This LEICA SUMMICRON 50mm f/2 with near-focusing range works perfectly with all LEICAs greatest M cameras: the LEICA M3 (1954-1967) through the LEICA M6 (1984-1998). With very low to nonexistent distortion, these zoom lenses bring a smooth and reliable focus and aperture. The well-balanced designs makes the lenses suitable for situations where you want a mix of speed and quality. Leica SUMMICRON lenses are versatile and compact and come complete with a full-metal lens hood for protection against flare and stray light.
