FAQs:
What is a Summicron lens?
‘Summicron’ is a designated label Leica uses for lenses featuring an f2 maximum aperture. Summicron lenses come in various focal lengths, including 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and 90 mm. Leica originally assigned the term to their first M-system lenses. Later, Leica also used the term for R lenses and, finally, for the most recent SL lenses.
What does Leica ‘SL’ stand for?
Born from Leica’s fundamental idea to support the work of creatives with the highest level of optical quality, Leica designed SL lenses to deliver unsurpassed results for photographers and filmmakers. Users can expect edge-to-edge sharpness, accurate colour reproduction, and natural bokeh when purchasing an SL series lens. APO lenses in the SL series hold the highest standards, with apochromatic correction for exceptional results and a compact build for easy storage and transportation.

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.
