STEVEHUFFPHOTO.COM WORLD EXCLUSIVE VIDEO!
The new Leica 35 Summilux ASPH 1.4 lens arrives! Video shot with V-Lux 20.
EXCITING! It’s here! Just took delivery of a brand spanking new Leica 35 Summilux 1.4 ASPH. Yes, this is the NEW version with the floating element to help with focus shift and close focus. Here is a quick first look video of the un-boxing! This lens is expected to ship in July and Amazon is now taking pre-orders. The cool thing with Amazon is that they do not charge you until the lens ships, so if you want one GET IN LINE AT AMAZON!
ALSO, here is the very first shot I took with this lens. Wide open, 1.4 and close focus. You can CLICK HERE for the FULL size image! Not too shabby. BTW, the M9 was set to ISO 320.
I will be taking this lens to Vegas this weekend to give it a thourough workout in bright light, evening light and low light. I will also test close focus, far focus and everything in between. Stay tuned for more on this beautiful lens.
One more which is a shot of a shot with the 35 🙂
JUST POSTED MORE SAMPLES HERE!

35 LUX + M9
Do you still have the “old” one? I would love to see a comparison of the two. Looking forward to more!
Steve, are you still planning a comparision of MP and M9 photos?
Oh, I finally watched the video! Black again? I suppose you can at least color coordinate all your accessories between MP and the M9!
That would be the perfect “one lens” lens. I do love my 35 cron ASPH though.
what’s the DOF at minimal distance at f/1.4?
WANT.
Sweeet! I want that glass badly. I may just have to trade my 35 Cron for it – please give us more shots from this lens!!
so.. do you have 2 m9’s now ? both black ? im confused.
@Steve Huff – You finally got your M9 replaced? Steel gray? Brandon’s photo looks great. Nice balance – not too sharp not too soft!
@Pixelmixture – Master Card will love you though! 🙂 Or maybe Visa. Or AX.
man i keep returning on and on to this post … my wife hates you steve … and soon my banker
i want a leica just to plug this lens ON …. beautiful lens
when is it coming out?
me like. Steve, you know that MP is hungry too, don’t forget about her 😉
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeee 🙂
