By day and night, at a distance or close-up, this Summicron sets new standards. Its high-speed and medium telephoto focal length combined with its compact dimensions make it a flexible alternative. It is particularly well suited to brilliant close-ups and intimate available light portraits with natural perspectives and appealing plasticity. With its wide aperture and limited depth of field, you can emphasize particular areas of the subject for more impact. All details are reproduced in high contrast and true to life, even at maximum aperture. The compact size belies its sophisticated features, including a floating element, an aspherical element, and apochromatic correction.
