Leica Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens officially announced

By LR admin | Published: March 22, 2016

Today Leica Camera officially announced the Summilux-TL 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens which has been already shipping in limited quantities. The bad news is that the price went up (from €1,900 to €2,150). The price in the US also went up from $1,995 to $2,395. This is a big/strange price increase when almost every other Leica product in the US is currently selling for 12% off.
