Combining rapid performance with exceptional optical quality, the Leica Summilux-M 90mm f/1.5 ASPH. serves as a high-speed portrait lens that excels in subject isolation through its notably shallow depth of field. The luminous f/1.5 aperture is particularly advantageous for portrait photography and is also effective in low-light environments. In addition to its swift aperture, this 90mm f/1.5 lens is characterized by its sophisticated optical design, which includes two aspherical elements that contribute to remarkable sharpness and minimal chromatic aberration. A floating element system is integrated to ensure consistent image quality across the entire focusing range, from 3.3 feet to infinity. Furthermore, the lens features an 11-blade diaphragm that creates a beautifully rounded bokeh effect, while a built-in lens hood effectively mitigates lens flare and ghosting.
- Impressively fast f/1.5 maximum aperture affords notable control over depth of field for selective focus shooting, and also benefits working handheld in low-light conditions.
- Short-telephoto 90mm focal length offers a flattering image quality that is well-suited to portraiture and mid-length images, especially when used in conjunction with the shallow depth of field afforded by the bright maximum aperture.
- Two large-diameter aspherical elements are used to control spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced distortion.
- A floating element system is employed to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, even at the minimum focusing distance of 3.3'.
- An 11-blade diaphragm produces a rounded and pleasing bokeh quality.
- Built-in extendable lens hood shades and protects the front element to reduce lens flare and ghosting. Additionally, the front of the lens is threaded to accept 67mm screw-in filters.
