The new Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 30 centimeters. At a recent presented the new APO 35mm lens at Leica Store Nuremberg, Peter Karbe (head of Optics Development at Leica) was asked whether Leica would also launch more lenses with the new minimum focus distance of 30cm. His response was “yes”, adding upon further questions: “I have already told you more than I should have said.”
