The eight-element 35mm Summicron, eight elements in six groups by Walter Mandler, was Leitz's original f/2 wide angle for the M and was produced from 1958 until 1969. This is the German-built M version without the rangefinder goggles fitted to the M3 lens, so it mounts directly on an M2 and every later M body and keeps the barrel short. It takes E39 filters and weighs around 150 grams, and it is the version most photographers actually want to use.
