Leitz 35mm f/2.5 Summarit-M

The Leitz 35mm f/2.5 Summarit-M is a moderate wide-angle prime for the Leica M rangefinder bayonet mount, part of the modern Summarit-M family of compact, lighter-weight M lenses positioned below the Summicron line. It was designed as an everyday reportage and street optic, offering classic 35mm coverage with an f/2.5 maximum aperture in a small, take-anywhere package.

Sales data for this lens at UK auction is currently thin — the only recorded saleroom hammer result on file is £600 in October 2024, so that figure represents both the median and the full observed range as of today in 2026. Because hammer prices reflect wholesale levels achieved in the auction market (excluding buyer's and seller's commission), retail dealer asking prices for clean, boxed copies typically sit higher. With a sample of one, the price a given example sells for can move materially with condition, box, papers and finish (silver chrome versus black anodised), so this benchmark is best treated as indicative rather than definitive of true market value.
