Leica „lens-less“ lens rumor confirmed! (Part 1 of 4) On attending the April first preview party in Wetzlar, I can confirm the long standing rumours of this extraordinary lens, now officially announced. I kindly was supplied with a preproduction specimen in order to do some initial testing. For the record, I am not an official ‚Leica Ambassador‘. As a consistent extension of the vintage line of M-Series lenses, opened by the Summaron 28 mm f/5.6 and the Thambar 90 mm f/2.2 - and fully in line with the company philosophy of reducing to the max („Das Wesentliche“), Leica is proud to present their latest vintage type lens, designated the ‚Refractomar-M‘. It features some truly remarkable properties: - Lightweight, low profile ‚ultra pancake‘ design - Revolutionary non-apo/non-asph formula - Full metal permanent aperture - Unique bokeh fingerprint across entire distance range - Lens body machined from impact-resistant synthetic material (a Leica first) - Assembled manually by German master craftsmen (individual certificate acompanies each lens) - Rigurous quality control, as to be expected from this company - Innovative zero bit coding - Full compatability with all M bodies from 1953 through 2018 - Perfect match for M10’s high ISO capacity - No more problems with rangefinder calibration - Maintenance free construction ensures longevity across generations - Limited edition of 999 specimen, collectibility guaranteed First impressions: Fig. 1: Understatement redefined Fig. 2: Pocketable form factor (continued in part 2)
