Version 2 of the 35mm Summilux-M ran from 1967 to 1995 and totalled about 28,350 lenses, the great majority from Leitz Canada. Walter Mandler's seven element, five group design holds f/1.4 in a compact barrel that focuses to 1m and takes E41 filters or Series VII. Wide open it renders with lower contrast and a distinct glow around highlights that many photographers still prefer to the sharper aspherical lenses that replaced it; by f/2.8 it tightens up considerably.
