Expanded Leica 135mm f4 APO-Telyt-M Asph Lens Key Features:
Apochromatic Optical Design
This 135mm f4 incorporates a intricately crafted apochromatic optical design to ensure the highest level of image-quality. It consists of high-end anomalous partial dispersion glass to suppress chromatic aberrations throughout the entire aperture range. This massively improves contrast and colour accuracy, providing you with a wider depth of field and a more dynamic final-image. Leica have paid special attention to the prevention of stray light and reflections, intricately forming and optimising the optical and mechanical design of this 135mm telephoto prime. The built-in telescoping lens hood further provides protection against lens flare and ghosting when working in harsh lighting conditions.
Unique Telephoto Prime
As this lens offers the longest focus length of the entire M-mount range, it can be implemented in a range of image-making environments to offer something quite unique. This 135mm f4 is ideal for dynamic portraiture and headshots, as well as indoor sports photography. The poor lighting within sports halls and indoor arenas can become troublesome in some cases, however, this Leica lens promises to produce detailed, contrast and bright images of the action. Whether it be indoor athletics, netball, or basketball - you are guaranteed high-end results. This lens is also significantly lighter and more compact than its competitors at this focal length, meaning it is a great option for extended shoot days and travel photograhy.

FAQs:
Would it be worth getting this lens alongside the APO Summicron M 90 ASPH?
This 135mm f4 APO-Telyt-M Asph Lens provides a much longer focal length than the M 90 ASPH - providing the same high-quality image as is expected from Leica. It can take some time to get used to the manual focus with this extended focal length, however, it is definitely worth it in the end.
Which Leica camera system does this lens pair best with?
This 135mm lens pairs well with the Leica M10 Digital Camera Body.
Will this telephoto prime lens restrict the viewfinder of the Leica M10R?
This 135mm telephoto prime will obstruct the viewfinder of the M10R, however, this is very much dependant on personal preference in regard to how much this will effect your individual shooting. To counteract this issue, it can be a good idea to purchase the Leica Visoflex Electronic Viewfinder.
When using this 135mm lens with the M6, does it require the Leica Viewfinder Magnifier?
Using this lens with the Leica M6 camera body does not require the Viewfinder Magnifier, however, it is recommended. This is because it allows for more precise focusing through a Leica rangefinder camera system such as the M6.
How does this lens compare to the Zeiss 135mm f/2?
The Zeiss 135mm f/2 allows a shallower depth of field than this Leica 35mm f4 APO-Telyt-M Asph Lens, yet the Leica remains much lighter and more compact. This makes it an ideal telephoto prime for travelling and extended shooting.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
