ASPH. Lens and Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 ASPH. Lens. These full-frame

50mm f/2 SL Lenses (Photo: Business Wire)
Both lenses are popular options. The 35mm is a wide, but not too
wide, lens that is popular for street photography and everyday use.
The 50mm is a classic, standard lens with a natural perspective.
Leica says these offer classic image quality with excellent
contrast and vivid colors. The f/2 maximum aperture will give users
great control over depth of field.
The autofocus system uses a fast and quiet linear direct motor
that is useful for stills and video. Physically these lenses are a
near-exact match with a large, rubberized focus ring and a
weather-sealed construction. An AquaDura coating on the front
element will repel the elements and make it easier to clean.
These lenses feature the L-Mount and will work well with a wide
range of cameras, including those from Leica, Panasonic, and
Sigma.
