{"product_id":"leica-66mm-f2-summicron-m","title":"Leica 66mm f2 Summicron-M","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Summicron-M 66 f\/2 is Leica's reinterpretation of the Elcan 66mm f\/2, the lens Walter Mandler designed at Ernst Leitz Canada in the late 1960s for a US Navy reconnaissance contract. Around 200 originals were built. This one starts from the same optical design, reworked to current standards at 6 elements in 5 groups. Wide open at f\/2 you get soft bokeh and high contrast; stopped down it does what the original was built to do, which is hold resolution on fine detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling is deliberately odd. The aperture ring turns the opposite way from every other M lens and the meter and feet scales are reversed, both carried over from the military version, so expect a few rolls of recalibrating your hands. The lens itself is small: 60.1 mm long, 60 mm across, about 456 g, E49 filter thread, screw-on hood. The run is 660 units worldwide, numbered on the front ring. If you are weighing this against a 50 or a 75 you already own, our team can talk through how 66mm actually sits between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuy from an authorized Leica dealer like Leica Store SF to ensure a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and expert support.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53864307065197,"sku":"LI11099","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/8168\/9749\/files\/leica-summicron-m-66-f2-upright.png?v=1788451241","url":"https:\/\/leicastoresf.com\/products\/leica-66mm-f2-summicron-m","provider":"Leica Store San Francisco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
